Omaha, NE – Alaadeen's jazz career spans more than 50 years and includes four albums, the most recent titled "and the beauty of it all." Two songs on that album, "Free Man" and "When Love Has" have a personal connection for Alaadeen. Omaha Public Radio's Chris Cooke recently spoke with Alaadeen about his career, his influences, and why those two tracks have a special meaning for the artist.
