Nice!

We've been around long enough for a retrospective.

Hope you've got Billie's version of "Everything Happens to Me" on the agenda. One of my favorite Billies.

[Lazaro Vega]

That's a good one, Paul, which we've featured in the past. This time landed on Chet Baker.

Will include some of the music from the Carl Allen / Rodney Whitaker project with Joe Gloss on guitar in this evening's program, too.

Instrumentally, nobody can touch Rollins' version in the ON IMPULSE (Impulse) session. What a sound he gets on his horn - a total masterpiece!
