Mohandas Gandhi

Gandhi Still Rocks

We look at how 100th anniversary of Mohandas Gandhi's philosophy of peaceful resistance -- known as "Satyagraha" -- is being marked this year in musical tributes. Also: tenor saxophonist Bennie Wallace. And, an update on that controversial Russian website that’s been selling song downloads for pennies.

Shady Downloads

Paul Resnikoff, editor of Digital Music News, updates us on the controversial Russian website that’s been selling song downloads for mere pennies each.

This year marks the 100th anniversary of Mohandas Gandhi’s non-violent, civil disobedience movement. His philosophy of non-violence has inspired both Bollywood films and Indian classical music. We explore the music with culture writer Siddhartha Mitter and Indian sarod virtuoso and composer Amjad Ali Khan.

Bennie Wallace

Tenor sax player Bennie Wallace occupies his own particular spot in the jazz spectrum, balancing tradition and innovation. He's just released a new cd and he'll play live in the studio.
