Lounge to the soulful Jazz Fusion of Larry Ridley's 1975 LP "Sum of the Parts" and learn about the great Jazz bassist and educator as he speaks with Suga In My Bowl radio for a 2014 interview. He's got quite a story which provides a look into important musical movements and artists, from picking up the violin at age 5 to becoming an apprentice of Grammy Award-winning double-bassist and witnessing the growing Jazz scene of his hometown in Indianapolis.

Today Ridley is an educator of Jazz and stresses that people do not forget the roots of the fruits as he cites a number of great artists throughout the interview who are groundbreaking along with sharing his belief in the universal language of the music. From Clifford brown, to Ornette Coleman and Duke Ellington, the bass great takes us down a trip through memory lane with a who's who of American Jazz up to the present day.
