Keep on the Sunny Side
Jazz pianist Cyrus Chestnut, who played for Betty Carter before forming his own trio, is known for his upbeat approach to jazz. He joins us today to play live from his latest album, You Are My Sunshine. And we'll talk to Red Grooms about his colorful and chaotic portrayals of life in New York. Then, journalist Naomi Schaeffer Riley discusses her investigation into life at religious colleges in America.
