    The Longest Night

    Born of black, white, and Puerto Rican heritage, singer-songwriter Garland Jeffreys has been penning insightful lyrics about race and politics since the 1970s. His many influences range from punk-minimalism to reggae to the street-corner a cappella of his native Brooklyn. Today on Soundcheck he shares stories about his Coney Island childhood and musical career with host John Schaefer. Imani Uzuri is a composer and songwriter for the 21st century—she’s put together a holiday solstice party featuring jazz pianist Vijay Iyer and guitarist Marvin Sewell.
