What do you do when you have legendary saxophonist, composer and arranger Jimmy Heath and baseball hall of famer Monte Irvin on your show together? You get out of the way and let them talk to each other!!! Even though both faced segregation and racism during their amazing careers, they feel blessed. Jimmy joins me from Queens while Monte shares his thoughts from his home in Houston, Texas. Check out the latest edition of S portsJam with Doug Doyle.

Passionate is a word I would use to describe Rhonda Hamilton and Bob Porter's approach to jazz and blues. However, after playing a round of golf with Rhonda and her husband, drummer Michael Carvin, then sitting down with Bob to talk about his beloved Red Sox, both hosts may be even more crazy about their favorite sports.

Check out my SportsJam sessions with Rhonda and Bob here.

SportsJam: Michael Bourne = Dr. Death?

When Dr. Michael Bourne talks baseball he's serious, really serious. The St. Louis Cardinals fan tell all in a recent session of SportsJam. I learned things I never knew about Michael, especially his opportunity to become involved in professional wrestling as a manager. Not hard to imagine if you think about it. Michael probably would have gone around the ring shouting "YOU, YOU" like he does during Jazz 88 membership drives!!
Listen to Michael Bourne on SportsJam.
