#3360: Reflections of China
For this New Sounds, listen to music inspired by the image of the plum blossom, China, or variations on the plum blossom. Hear a surprising acoustic piece by Greek composer Vangelis, also known for scoring "Chariots of Fire," from a 30 year old recording, "China." Also, Grammy Award winning composer, reed virtuoso and jazz master Yusef Lateef takes on the piece with Chinese globular flute.

Plus, the whale/dolphin-like strainings of guitarist Dean Magraw, as he magnetizes a Fender on his version of “Plum Blossom.” And much more.
