Welcome to the Jazz Lion’s Den, a journey through Levy Lee Simon’s debut Memoir Odyssey Towards The Light  

Lee and Producer Scott Slaughter introduce the episode by engaging in a brief conversation about the memoir. This discussion spans their 16-year friendship, the inspirations behind Lee’s storytelling, and the significance of Harlem, both past and present.  

In this episode’s excerpts, Lee recounts his upbringing in Harlem during the 1960s and '70s, his family's roots in the Deep South, and the vibrant characters that shaped his life. Lee shares some of his warm family childhood memories, and tells a story about a very close call they had with the law.
