Then, Kim Kashkashian joins us to talk about the traditional songs from Spain and Argentina on her latest album. And later: New York quartet So Percussion explores everything from minimalist classics to ambient electronica. They play live in our studio.
I'm Not There
The new Bob Dylan biopic "I'm Not There" generated a buzz on the film festival circuit this year with an unorthodox approach to the songwriter's life. Six actors, including Cate Blanchett, portray Dylan in various "eras" of his career -- as (at least) six different characters. Before it opens in New York on Wednesday, Newsday film critic Gene Seymour joins us to preview one of the year's most-anticipated music movies.
Kim Kashkashian
Kim Kashkashian is probably the world's greatest living violist. She joins us to talk about using her instrument to replace the human voice on traditional songs from Spain and Argentina on her latest album, "Asturiana."
