On this program we feature pianist Cedar Walton. From Dallas, Texas as he tells us in this clip from a conversation recorded in December of 1982, he grew up surrounded by music and some of his earliest memories are of some of the major Jazz figures of the time coming to his family's home to play and share the wonders of the music.

Cedar eventually of course became quite well known for his work with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers in the early to mid 1960's, and for many years since he continues to lead his own groups that have included saxophonist Hank Mobley, drummer Billy Higgins, and far too many others to try to name them all here.
