    The Jazz Session #636: 17th Anniversary Episode with Les McCann
    2024/02/24
    The Jazz Session turns 17 today! I'm celebrating with an archival episode from back in my jazz radio days. I interviewed Les McCann in 2004 about his classic album Swiss Movement. Les passed away on December 29, 2023. I thought I'd commemorate his passing and celebrate his life and the birthday of this show by sharing that interview with you.
