We continue our series of music interviews recorded at this year's New Orleans Jazz Fest, this week with ROGER LEWIS, a founding member of The Dirty Dozen Brass Band. Lewis talks with Bob about his band's progression from revolutionizing upstarts more than thirty years ago to established -- though still inventive -- old masters today. Lewis spoke with Bob in the green room of the famous club Tipitina's, in Uptown New Orleans before his third gig of the day.
Truman Capote wrote the novella that became a beloved film classic starring Audrey Hepburn in her most iconic role. But if Capote had gotten his way, Marilyn Monroe would have played the naive and sprightly Holly Golightly in "Breakfast at Tiffany's," not Hepburn. SAM WASSON is the author of a new book which explores the making of the movie and its influence on the contemporary woman, and the little black dress is just the beginning. Wasson's book is titled Fifth Avenue, 5 A.M.: Audrey Hepburn, Breakfast at Tiffany's, and the Dawn of the Modern Woman."
Bob Edwards Weekend is a two-hour interview showcase, in which celebrated host Bob Edwards highlights the life and work of interesting people, from newsmakers, historians, and authors to artists, actors, and regular folks too.
