    Hanson is back! (hanson.net)

    They're MMMBack

    The three brothers of the pop group Hanson helped usher the teen pop craze of the 90s with their 1997 smash hit "MMMBop." Today, the Hanson brothers discuss their post-pubescent return to the scene, creating their own independent label, and about making a documentary film about their frustrations with the record industry. The band also gives a live performance in the WNYC studio. Also, rising pianist Robert Glasper makes his debut with two of the jazz world's most venerable institutions, Blue Note Records and the Village Vanguard this fall. The pianist has worked with everyone from Terence Blanchard and Roy Hargrove to Q-Tip and Mos Def. He shares his music with us today.
