In 1989, Mel Lewis was invited by Loren Schoenberg of WKCR radio in New York City, to do a series of radio interviews discussing his knowledge of historically significant jazz drummers.

I recommend this for any drummer who wants to have a better understanding of the development of modern drumming.
