Hancock, McEwan, Mahler

Indispensable greatness in music, novels, and cake. Kurt talks with jazz legend Herbie Hancock and novelist Ian McEwan. Hancock is up for album of the year at the Grammy’s, and the cinematic adaptation of McEwan’s novel Atonement just won the Golden Globe for Best Picture. We discover the strange tormented stateside life of Viennese composer Gustav Mahler. And a baker praises the one appliance she could never do without: the KitchenAid mixer.
