I can’t stop the music (classical)

It’s Black Music Month! This week, host Brittany Luse invites Howard University professor and trombonist Myles Blakemore to talk about how classical music has influenced some of our favorite musicians. They examine how Johann Sebastian Bach’s counterpoint technique may have inspired Nina Simone and how a love of the real can turn into a career in classical music.
