Benny Golson was a legendary tenor sax player and composer, whose lasting legacy is the many jazz standards he composed. This week on Inside Out Nick Tipping plays nothing but tunes written by Golson, including Lee Morgan's take on 'I Remember Clifford', Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers with 'Along Came Betty', and Bruce Paulson's 'Stablemates'.
