Great Revelation About Bakers of Detroit

I love Jazz -- so your interview at Bakers' Jazz Club of Detroit grabbed me good. Where clubs exist for Blacks to play any form of Jazz there is usually some outstanding history with it! And it's something that's very UPLIFTING -- so whenever you bring in a little Jazz, it's going to sweeten whatever else went before (the good, the bad or the ugly, if you get my drift, of whatever was in a story about this city or that) and it can make it come off with a thumbs up as this one did.
I'd like to hear this aired all across America -- coast-to-coast -- and although there were certain parts I would like to have seen edited down as being to negative or too one-sided, it's OK overall and I'll give it five stars here.
There are two full one-minute breaks at 19 and 35 plus full 5-minute newshole. I would recommend offering an optional 5-minute piece insert for stations that don't cutaway for news.
