America has produced two distinct musical styles which have traveled the world-Blues and Jazz. Both are improvisational in nature and stem from the same source-the folk music of the African-Americans who were brought here as slaves. This week on The Sing Out! Radio Magazine we’ll listen to some jazz masters who have taken their inspiration from folk music. Included will be Sonny Rollins, JJ Johnson, Wes Montgomery and many more.
