Blues Travelers

Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
John Luther Adams, that's the composer, not the former president, stops by today. All the way from Alaska, John Luther Adams drops by our studio to discuss his career and his music. We're also visited by Abdel R. Salaam, leader of the dance group Forces of Nature, and Village Voice music critic Greg Tate. They’re both part of BAM’s upcoming "Rhythm & BAM" series, and will enlighten us about the current state of blues, soul, and gospel.
