All right now, that's Roosevelt Sykes and he's "Too Smart Too Soon". Before that we heard Willie Bloom from Osceola, Arkansas, recorded by Joe Lee right here in Jonesboro. He sang "Sweet Lorraine", "Let It Rain", and "Osceola Blues".

Ok, I've got two more from The Honeydripper, Mr. Roosevelt Sykes, "Honeysuckle Blues " and "New Orleans Jump". Sykes was a blues and jazz pianist who influenced many musicians including Memphis Slim. Then we'll hear the Oscar Peterson trio play "Falling In Love With Love".

Ok now, I've got Memphis Slim and Alexis Korner doing "Got A Little Old Mama", "Rock Me Baby", and "In The Evening". Listen to Memphis Slim between the songs for a little laid back history lesson.

Then closing the show we'll hear a contemporary jazz composer, Emmett North Jr., play some Latin jazz, "Montuno".
