I remember hearing Denny Zeitlin many years ago on shortwave jazz program the US government beamed across the world via "armed forces radio." I was at the time living in my native Jamaica. I recall the passion Zeitlin brought to his music then; I also recall being very impressed that he also was a psychiatrist. Was great to learn that he is still a practicing physician, composer and performer, and the passion for his work still comes through this short interview piece. Very happy to recommend it. And, just for context, I worked in radio for years in Jamaica and am now an assistant general manager/education and news director at a jazz station in Houston.
