Sure, pianist Lara Downes plays all of that Beethoven, Mozart and Bach music in recitals, but now she’s taking the sounds of young composers like Lowell Lieberman and Pablo Ortiz to the rock and jazz clubs. Speaking of jazz, singer Akiko Yano joins us to tell us what the jazz life is like for a young Japanese woman. We also take a listen to the new soundtracks that the Alloy Orchestra composed for the films of Buster Keaton.
