Kenny interviews Ormond Beach resident Gers Yowell - whose apartment jam sessions in 1950 eventually became the Charlie Parker album "Apartment Sessions". Gers lived through the big band & bop eras all the way through to today's contemporary jazz; and at age 88 still plays and loves new music. Gers reflects on Bird, his own youth, Zoot Sims, life in NYC as a jazz musician in 1950 and much more.
