She Put a Spell on You
Writer and performer Camille Yarbrough drops by today to discuss the power and lasting effects of the late Nina Simone. Simone's music, writings, and activism are the subject of a lecture and tribute concert by the Black Rock Coalition this weekend. Also, composer Laura Kaminsky and other members of the Musician’s Accord give us a live preview of their upcoming program of music that responds to war. And WNYC's very own Music Director Hester Furman stops by for this week’s CD review.
