An amazing interview with tenor sax great Charile Rouse from May of 1985. Sadly, this interview is incomplete and although I hope to find the last cassette of it (among 2000 others) someday, I felt this was to great to not publish now. Charlie talks with Leigh about all the legends of his time including Billy Eckstine, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Duke Ellington and more including how he got on Monk's band and what that was like. Priceless.
