the first 15-20 minutes of each file is interviews/introductions, then the kirk show starts.
and the playback speed of these audio files is usually way too fast.

at 24:30 through 32:03 = 7.5 minutes. i can see why sax players would do this when circular breathing, but it seems weird on a piano. i know hines did this for 2-3 minutes on st. louis blues when he was in louis armstrong's group in the 40's.
after a few minutes, it does become less of an indurance test, and more of 'it's fine, just fine'.

starting at about 12min, gonsalves comes in and out of a sleep state for almost the entire 2hour show.
is this because of heroin, or because of his supposed* narcolepsy condition.
this is the only video that has him falling asleep, and duke and hodges are not happy about it.
* evidently there's no proof that he had narcolepsy.
anyone seen the complete 90 minute version of this documentary? (1h50m with commercials)
