Benny Golson, a musician and composer whose compositions have become jazz standards. The interview he gave is in part a history of jazz and I feel that it is so special as he was one of the greats who helped create it
Mr Golson's -
Dizzy Gillespie and Dexter Gordon: Blue 'N' Boogie 

"Well - I've been around for a long time, and during the time when I got started there were no such things as albums so there were no covers! 

Cause there was a time of the 78 recording with 3 minute at tops for each recording, so whatever the person was going to present they had to present it within the 3 minute framework. 
Sometimes you didn't get the bridge of the song and they went out and things like that, so they had to gear it for the 3 minutes and that's what I grew up with when I started that's what was going and later the 33 1/3 records came into existence - and they weren't 12 inch LPs - they were10 inch LPs!  

And then later the 12 inch LPs came, yeah."

Donny McCaslin with his - the classic John Coltrane recording.
Photographed with the actual 'Band on the Wall'.
Donny's interview intoxicates with excitement and insight.

“Well this is "A Love Supreme" by John Coltrane. And I just remember being so taken with this record when I heard it. 

There’s just a deep sense of expression coming from him and the whole group, you know ..they’re kind of at their zenith in terms of their inter-play and there’s the depth of his playing ... is just stunning. The combination of emotion and sophistication and soulfulness and rhythm. I mean it’s just everything that’s so compelling about music you know and the message of this record being, you know, so connected to the Devine." Full interview @ onelp.org
