Tonight the 9 O'Clock Special honors the music and memory of soul jazz sax legend Red Holloway who passed away last Saturday from kidney failure. When you heard Red Holloway blow his sax, the South Side of Chicago came to life with all its gritty, tough and bluesy personality. Red was one of the last great beboppers from Chicago, and helped shape the soul jazz scene.

King. His recordings opposite tenor giant Sonny Still and Hammond B-3 master Jack McDuff featured some of his best work. Celebrate the genius and soul of Red Holloway tonight at 9.
