Feeling the vibe: Riding diverse rhythms
In this episode of Feeling the Vibe, MPR News editor David Cazares and bassist Chris Bates discuss music by African-American, Cuban and Minnesotan performers.
This week the light is on virtuoso Cuban pianist Nachito Herrera, who performs Friday with his trio at the Dakota Jazz Club in Minneapolis.
Also in the mix is Saturday's show by the Babatunde Lea Quintet at Studio Z in St. Paul and how the percussionist has enhanced the Twin Cities jazz scene.
The conversation also turns to the holidays, with a look at Monday's show at the Dakota by the Jana Nyberg Group, which will include numbers from its "Winter Song" album.
