Forgotten Jazz Man

When I was a New York City kid living on 151st Street between Broadway and Riverside Drive, many jazz musicians lived in that Sugar Hill (Harlem) neighborhood including a saxophonist who once played with legendary acts, toured the world, and blew his tenor on numerous jazz, doo-wop, R & B and early rock ’n’ roll tracks. His name was Jesse Powell, and in the early 1970s he gave up that fast life and became a family man who opened a candy store on Broadway. While I don’t remember the official name of the shop, the neighborhood kids simply called it Jesse’s.
