About this episode
Yesterday on the show we were lucky to be joined by 26 students from Staten Island’s Susan E. Wagner High School jazz band. The students will soon be taking part in Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Essentially Ellington High School Jazz Band Competition & Festival , happening May 9-11. They are the only New York City band out of 15 schools around the country selected to participate. After we wrapped our on-air conversation, the band also recorded two bonus songs, "Almendra" and "Who Me?" You can hear those performances now! This segment is guest-hosted by Kate Hinds .
