327: Ben Sidran at 83

For his 83rd birthday, Ben Sidran revisits a 1974 DownBeat profile (done when he was 30) and considers what has changed - and what hasn't - over more than half a century of music and life. In his annual birthday conversation with Leo, he reflects on aging, ambition, practice and the surprising persistence of a worldview formed long ago. www.third-story.com www.leosidran.substack.com www.wbgo.org/podcast/the-third-story https://youtu.be/SZY4QRpJCTw
