American Routes for October 23, 2010
8:00 PM - 10:00 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: David Amram & Marcus Roberts
We profile two men that begin in classical and jazz and move in different directions. Buttressed by a conservatory background, French horn player and composer David Amram moves freely and eclectically across genres of Latin, jazz, folk and classical music. Blind pianist Marcus Roberts speaks about his time spent as protege of Wynton Marsalis and looking back over the history of jazz to his touchstones, James P. Johnson, Monk, Jelly Roll Morton and others.
Produced in New Orleans and distributed by American Public Media.
