Cuban pianist Omar Sosa (Irene Trudel/WNYC)Sweet "Sol" Music
The Cuban pianist Air Omar Sosa nearly brought down the roof during the opening night concerts of Carnegie's Zankel Hall last September with his high-octane blend of jazz and Afro-Caribbean rhythms. He's back in New York performing with his quartet this week at Joe's Pub, and he stops by our studio today for a live performance. Also, we continue our examination of the links between music and architecture, this time with composer Laurie Anderson, architect Martha Schwartz and composer/architect Chris Janney. They're part of the Resonating Frequencies series of lectures at Cooper Union, curated by Janney.
