Original Airdate: June 17th, 2006
Even if you don’t usually listen to jazz, chances are that you’ve heard Sonny Rollins, Phil Woods, Zoot Sims, Hugh Masekela, Chet Baker, and other jazz luminaries… did you know that it was Rollins soloing on the Rolling Stones’ “I’m Just Waiting on a Friend”? Woods on Billy Joel’s “Just the Way You Are”? West Coast saxophonist Curtis Amy wailing away on the Doors’ “Touch Me”? Hear all of these and more as we explore “Jazz Cameos” on this edition of Night Lights.
