Beyond the Big Apple

Monday, August 20, 2007

Today on Soundcheck, we check in on music scenes in three different corners of the U.S. Richard Sheinin, classical and jazz critic of the San Jose Mercury News, talks about classical music in Silicon Valley. City Pages staff writer Peter Scholtes talks about independent hip hop in Minneapolis. And we ask Ross Compton how he started a free-jazz community in a city better known for college basketball: Lexington, Ky.
