All week we're revisiting
archival interviews with key figures in early rock and roll, rockabilly and
R&B. We listen back to a 2000

recorded in 1988 with New Orleans songwriter and producer Allen Toussaint. And
jazz critic Kevin Whitehead profiles
jazz saxophonist Art Pepper, who was born 100 years ago today.
