All Of It with Alison Stewart | Aug 30, 2023

On Monday, NY/LA-based saxophonist James Casey, a previous guest on our show, passed away at the age of 40 after battling cancer. He was a longtime member of the Trey Anastasio Band and has played with The Roots, Anderson .Paak, Carly Rae Jepsen, Jon Batiste, Talib Kweli, and many more artists. Today, we bring you a conversation with Angele Russell, senior director of partnerships & health equity at the Colorectal Cancer Alliance, which has worked with Casey on cancer advocacy. Plus, hear excerpts of Casey's conversation and performances from his November 2022 appearance on All Of It.
