Series: Living With Music

Produced by WBGO

WBGO presents Living With Music, a show about music, discovery, and music discovery.
Hosted by WBGO Special Projects Producer Josh Jackson.

Living With Music is based on the idea that music presents a broad and complex set of emotions. So why not meet a community of creators speaking a spontaneous and timeless language in an age of instant access and communication?

Hear the next generation of musicians in their own words. Get a random access sample of what’s inside their digital music collection. Experience an entire week of news headlines crammed into two minutes of hip hop poetry. Learn how to digitize your music library. Find out how jazz is the aggregating the worlds of hip hop, indie rock, world music, and everything else it smashes into. Enjoy the sounds of history with artists who are making it now.

Living With Music is also an online content portal and community watering hole for thirsty listeners. We’ll share an audio archive of studio sessions, personal playlists, as well as concerts from the greatest jazz club in the world, the Village Vanguard.

Our programs feature Academy Award winners, Grammy winners, Pulitzer Prize winners and the new wave of composers making their mark on the cultural landscape: young people with old souls and veterans who are young at heart. All of them come from the loose confederation we call “the music community,” and you have more in common with them than you ever imagined.

Living With Music is a limited series of 54 minute news compatible programs for a curious audience.
