                  Folks, For the first time since early April the JFS veered away from the one on one Roy Firestone interviews and began to delve into local Tucson. Among the topics discussed with Bruce Smith were the genre of records that tend to...

              Who are the last big brothers? Mine are Calvin Keys, Henry Franklin, Carl Burnett, Bobby Pierce and George Harper. These cats developed under serious mentors like Cal Tjader, Al McKibbon, Joe Wlliams, Freddie Hubbard, Woody Shaw, Art Pepper,...
