That'll teach me to play guessing games.

Ok, name Lester Young's soul mate in the Basie band. A tenor player whose big sound was in direct contrast to prez.

This "free jazz" saxophone pioneer and iconoclast once toured for a while with Little Walter. Who was he?

I've done it again - got the answer, but no new question!

Ok, an easy one. The tune 'Back at the Chicken Shack' or just plain 'Chicken Shack' is a staple with blues harpists. Which jazz musician composed this piece.

John Coltrane patterned his legendary improvisation in "Alabama" after the cadences and phrasings of a speech. What speech was this, and who gave it?

I have no clue what year the music was created so this might be a pretty stupid guess...
"I Have A Deam" By Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr?

Les from Chicago
