Mort Weiss: "I AM The Best Clarinetist In The World!"

Michael Farrell

If you ask him, and Jon Norton did, Mort Weiss will tell you he's the best clarinet player in the world.  Norton and the feisty Weiss covered many other topics and ideas as well on this edition of GLT Jazz Next. 

They also played songs from his his CD "Mort Weiss is a Jazz Reality Show," a reference to the drama he's experienced in his 80 years of life.

Jon Norton is the program director at WGLT and WCBU. He also is host of All Things Considered every weekday.
