Kenny Berger: A Musician Grows in Brooklyn 

Ed Joffe interviews Kenny Berger, an unsung hero in the jazz community known not only as a terrific baritone saxophonist but also as a skilled woodwind doubler, first-rate composer/arranger, educator, and accomplished jazz historian and writer. He has had a multi-faceted career as a performer, composer/arranger, and writer and his list of credits is long and noteworthy. Kenny explains the jazz scene while growing up in New York in the 1950s-1960s and how V.I.P. musicians during that time influenced and inspired him. He also offers an interesting perspective on how much the musical environment has changed in the succeeding decades.
