Omar Sosa - Monterey Jazz Festival 2003 (Andy Nozaka)Cafe Cubano
The probing Cuban-born pianist Omar Sosa has mixed Latin jazz, avant-garde exploration and spiritual Cuban roots music in his past albums. With his newest release, "Mulatos," he adds Middle Eastern, Asian and electronic elements to his free-spirited mix. The Boston Herald recently called it his "most accessible and enjoyable recording yet," and today he joins us to share the results. Also: It's possibly the hottest new sector of the digital music business: cell phones capable of playing music. Last month, Microsoft announced it would team up with phone manufacturer Nokia to create cell phones capable of accessing digital music. Other brands have followed suit and this week, Motorola will announce the first cell phones that will carry Apple's popular iTunes music software. Joining us to discuss the implications of this is Brian Garrity, Senior Business Writer for Billboard.
