That makes Dean's interview 5 years old.

If you dig Ari Hoenig AND if you dig jazz, you can tune in
to see VIDEO and AUDIO of every show EVERY DAY 24/7.

Smalls uses 3 cameras and starts nightly at 7:30 and second show @ 9:00.
Then midnight jams. I donate $10 on Jan 1st each year (one time only) and this allows
me to go to their website ...

No....By no means....his chops are as mesmerizing as ever.....he continues to

Retired? Hold your tongue!
