Dennis Owsley and St. Louis Jazz History

 
Dennis Owsley's love and passion for Jazz has been unabated for decades.  He's been the host of "Jazz Unlimted" on St. Louis Public Radio for over 30 years now.  He sits down with Nick Garcia to talk about the history of Jazz in St. Louis, Miles Davis, and Dennis' Jazz Concert photography, among other subjects.
