Eposode 5 - Phil Ranelin

Trombonist/activist/composer/educator; Phil Ranelin has a lot to talk about.  He came up with Freddy Hubbard; he played with Wes Montgomery in Indianapolis.  He worked for Motown duing the heyday in Detroit and then had his own record label - in the sixties.  He was in the studio yesterday for a great talk.  I'll be posting that on Sunday, as usual.  

Talking to tenor sax/flutist/scat-singer Sam Most next Monday, and expecting stories about Buddy Rich (although pretty much everyone has a Buddy story...) and my old friend and great late guitar master Al Viola. Leonard Feather called Sam Most the first "truly creative jazz flutist," and I won't disagree with that.

Next week, it's a guitar summit with me and Barry Zweig and Ron Anthony.
