[Dixielandjazz] Jazz and Poetry

[Thompson]

Here is a "play on demand" program available at www.wwoz.org (click on
the right side of the page on Langston Hughes).  Radio personality, Tom
Morgan put together this show in honor of Langston Hughes' 100th
birthday last February.  Tom has included reading of Hughes' poetry.  I
find it very enjoyable! (at least the 30 minutes I have heard so
far!!!!)
