For the fourth year in a row, musician/producer/journalist/philosopher Ben Sidran talks to The Third Story in honor of his birthday.
This time he’s turning 79, and he considers the sociological implications of mowing the lawn; Donald Fagen’s solo recordings; the general significance of the 1960s in popular culture today; Pharoah Sanders' 1965 album Pharoah’s First (ESP); interviews he conducted in the 1980s with Miles Davis and Sonny Rollins; the myth of Sisyphus; his most recent album Swing State; and his idea that "simplicity will get you in the end."
