On today's edition of Lucky Old Souls, Feldie will be joined in the studio by saxophonist/flutist/poet Elliott Levin, possibly the hardest-working musician on Philly's jazz scene.  Elliott's been making music for over 30 years and has worked with performers ranging from Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes to Cecil Taylor.  These days he can be heard regularly with Bobby Zankel's Warriors of the Wonderful Sound and the West Philadelphia Orchestra and leading various groups of his own.  Elliott will tell some stories about the old days and play some of the many recordings he appears on, along with some of his favorite recordings by others.  And you'll also be treated to a live in-studio performance from Elliott and percussionist Robert Kenyatta.

You can catch Elliott with his own band this Saturday at the Clef Club :
