Virtuosic Journeys with Herbie Hancock and Rhonda Vincent
Jazz pianist Herbie Hancock has made a career of being a musical explorer, playing across genres from soul and funk to folk and rock and breaking down musical barriers along the way. Then we visit with mandolin virtuoso Rhonda Vincent, who shares tales of traveling with the family bluegrass band and now playing at the Grand Ol Opry with her own band, the Rage. Plus music from Joni Mitchell, Billie Holiday, Hugh Masekela, and Waylon Jennings.
