Topspin CEO Ian Rogers is starting 2012 off with a new haircut. At the risk of sounding like there's some kind of man crush going on, Rogers has long been known for long hair (before photo to left) that made him look like a skateboarder (which he also is) rather than a CEO and father of a daughter about to graduate from MIT. Of course, the real reason for this new episode of ThisWeekInMusic is an informative interview with the ...

There is no piano; Ben Monder's guitar has the chording assignment. Chris Cheek's tenor sax adds a third melody voice. Both solo with economy and plenty of unexpected turns, ...
