Harold Arlen's name may be less familiar than Irving Berlin or Cole Porter, but he wrote some of the most iconic tunes in jazz. This hour we check out Sonny Rollins playing "between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea", Ben Webster with "Stormy Weather", and Frank Sinatra singing "That Old Black Magic".
