A REVEALING TRIBUTE to an outstanding jazz sax master!
The mixing in of the saxophone especially helped to keep me listening to you reveal information about the life of Frank Morgan in the tribute to him and his music. I appreciate learning some of the background about a man who plays tunes that are very pleasing to the ears.
Your program helps me to see that the jazz music world is kind of a fishbowl of sorts. When you hear the history of musicians you often hear, as here, how many of them interfaced with one another as they learned skills and gained popularity. Fault me for saying this if you will, but the presentation in this piece was faultless. It moved along gracefully and kept me listening and wanting to hear more.
This would air well any time.
