One of the best parts of vinyl records are the liner notes. Whether it is the instrumentation, the lyrics, or its origin the liner notes gives you a glimpse to an artist's creative process. This week on "Live At The Linda," we caught up with Tim Coakley, who celebrated his 35th anniversary on WAMC's Tim Coakley Jazz Show a few months ago. Tim shares several songs that have had an impact on his career, and the jazz genre as a whole.
