Every few minutes it seems that another musician puts their stamp on Gershwin's music. Today, jazz pianist Bill Charlap shows how he brings a modernized, yet still traditional take on the Gershwin songbook that is far from predictable. Also, The Frank and Joe Show is a weekly jazz show at the club Sweet Rhythm in New York City. Humorous and eclectic they are comprised of percussionist Joe Ascione and guitarist Frank Vignola, and they join us today with a live performance. Finally, a review of this past weekend's Live 8 concerts.
