[Dixielandjazz] Ed Bradley from 60 Minutes

[Gary Kiser]

Actually, Ed Bradley was a champion of all types of jazz.  I am a 
regular listener to NPR's Jazz At Lincoln Center which Mr. has hosted 
for years.  I see their web site -- http://www.jalc.org -- hasn't posted 
anything yet, but it shouldn't be long before they do.

There is a short bit on him on Wikipedia at 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Bradley .

I will miss his voice on JALC.

All the best, Gary
