Our Summer Review Series continues! Today, we branch out into the music world as we discuss the new album Rock Chalk Suite with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis. Chris Crenshaw, one of the performers on the album and composer of the first track, joins us to talk about jazz, the making of the album, and what it meant to be part of this project.
