Sonny and Elvin

We begin this show by honoring the birthdays of a couple of jazz giants. Last week was the birthdays of Sonny Rollins and Elvin Jones. We feature tracks from Rollins' Bridge album and a cookin' Elvin Jones track. From there we get into a few numbers from bassist Ben Williams debut CD. That is followed by another great bass player, Dave Holland. We conclude the podcast with a couple of drummers. Rob Garcia from his just released CD The Drop and the Ocean, and Roy Haynes is the eternally young, jazz master, on this track also features the great Roland Kirk.
