MLK Tribute

This tribute podcast recorded on the birthday of Martin Luther King Jr. features music by Noah Baerman from his 2005 release dedicated to the life of the greatest American civil rights leader. That is followed by Nina Simone's tribute to Dr. King. David Bowie is also remembered with music from his final album Blackstar. We hear from Donny McCaslin who collaborated with Bowie on this recording, and some jazz covers of Bowie's work.
