Wayne Kramer back in prison


Only for a visit, mind you. More on his day at Sing Sing and Brother Wayne's long-held view about the war on drugs here.

  2. Wayne went to prison in Lexington, KY which was where a lot of jazz musicians went. I got a chance to talk with him about his experience there with Red Rodney, the great bebop trumpeter. Wayne had a jailhouse band with Red, who taught him music theory and lots of old standards.
