    Steve Reich Celebration

    Composer Steve Reich may be as hip at age 70 as he was at 30, influencing DJs, electronic artists and choreographers. Reich joins us on his 70th birthday to talk about his latest work including "Daniel Variations," named after the late Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl. Also: The Brazilian Girls play live in the studio.

    Happy Birthday Steve Reich
