George Jones & Sam Moore
This week we are visited by two men with legendary voices,
in country and soul, famous for their duets and more. From the cotton
patches of East Texas, George Jones remains one of the most distinctive voices in country music or otherwise. Known as "The King of Broken Hearts," his hits through the '60s and '70s remain the high water mark for country ballads. Sam Moore, formerly of Sam & Dave, recalls his early days as a gospel singer in Miami and his conversion to pop. As a '60s "Soul Man" he recorded a string of jukebox classics then pressed through difficult times and has emerged with a second career on his own. |

David Amram & Marcus Roberts
We profile two men that begin in classical and jazz and move in differing 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 protégé of Wynton Marsalis and looking back over the history of jazz to his touchstones, James P. Johnson, Monk, Jelly Roll Morton and others. |
