Music and Words of Wisdom: A Corona Stray From Home Companion, Vol. 3
We walk the line of isolation and go outside carefully with music and words of wisdom for contemplation, comfort, and hope. It’s a Corona Stray from Home Companion, in conversations with a few of our favorite artists including Tejano accordionist Flaco Jimenez and the late Ray Charles — both speaking of their families’ role in helping them emerge as great musical citizens. We harken to the creative wisdom of jazz, locally and globally, with the late pianist Dave Brubeck whose travels abroad as a soldier and later with Louis Armstrong led him to “Take Five” and otherworldly sounds. And we take to the streets with New Orleans Original Pinettes Brass Band, the first such women’s jazz ensemble today. Plus: music from Bob Dylan, Nina Simone, and John Prine.
