Man-Oh-MAN! We had so much good Ilesian stuff that it had to be divided into TWO SHOWS!

Here is Part Two where we get more into Alex's music via the famous "Lightning Round" (imagine the cool sound effect here)

LOTS to love on this one folks! So dive on in...

The great Steve Turre returns for a full length in-depth discussion of his music and composing. Trombone, shells and all the fixin's. We get into the legendary Lightning Round where I choose a bunch of tracks, play them for YOU to enjoy and then Steve talks about what went into each one...the behind-the-scene's "Director's Cut" if you will.

Join me and Steve as we hold court, hang out, and otherwise hobnob...
