What happens when multi Grammy-Award winning composer Arturo O’Farrill and virtuosic speaker, scholar and activist Dr. Cornel West work together to explore the deep connection between jazz and spiritual traditions? You get The Cornel West Concerto – a work specially commissioned by the Apollo Theater that had its world premiere with O’Farrill’s Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra at the Apollo Theater on May 21. O'Farrill and West joined us live May 16 for a preview conversation on jazz, spirituality, and the process of working together. The conversation will also feature performance excerpts by O’Farrill and members of the Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra. Hosted by WQXR's Helga Davis. Watch the entire show: http://wny.cc/nvbb300ER2h
