Welcome to the Jazz Lion’s Den, a journey through Levy Lee Simon’s debut Memoir Odyssey Towards The Light.
In this episode, Lee reminisces about growing up in Harlem during the 1960s, sharing intimate details about his family and the vibrant community at 353 West 115th Street. Listeners are introduced to an array of colorful characters and family members that all lived in the same building together. Lee goes on to tell a harrowing story about a neighborhood predator that almost seriously jeopardized Lee’s childhood, had it not been for the strong community surrounding him.
