Gandhi Lives
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.
