Lucky Old Souls Every Tuesday at 2 p.m., Feldie brings you two hours of the hottest, swingin-est jazz and R&B tracks from back in the day... and I mean back in the day, as in 50, 60, 70+ years ago. That's right... The best jazz, pop standards, blues of all kinds, early rock & roll, songs that were hits, and songs that should have been hits. We're not nostalgic--we just know that music transcends time... and a hit is a hit. Read more about your host here. You can reach Feldie anytime at feldie@gtownradio.com.

Today's edition of Lucky Old Souls will feature music from saxophonist Lucky Thompson (June 16, 1924 - July 30, 2005), an under-appreciated musician with a unique style and sound and a tragically compelling life story. From Allmusic.com's bio: Thompson loved music, but without hope of acquiring an instrument of his own, he ran errands to earn enough money to purchase an instructional book on the saxophone, complete with fingering chart. He then carved imitation lines and keys into a broom handle, teaching himself to read music years before he ever played an actual sax. According to legend, Thompson finally received his own saxophone by accident -- a delivery company mistakenly dropped one off at his home along with some furniture... Thompson had stints with the big bands of Erskine Hawkins, Count Basie, and Billy Eckstine; recorded with Charlie Parker, Dinah Washington, Little Jimmy Scott, and Milt Jackson; and released several albums under his own name. Plenty of other great jazz, blues, soul, and R&B from Feldie's collection on today's show too, including music from Betty Harris, Ernest Stuart, Rudresh Mahanthappa & Bunky Green, and John Lee Hooker.
