Herbie Hancock, Iphigenia, Stars

Studio 360

Geeks and Greeks. Jazz legend Herbie Hancock tells us how starting out as a science geek led him to his radical musical experimentation. Playwright Charles Mee says the ancient Greeks built their plays like Rolls Royces. Mee explains why he still wanted to update a 2400-year-old classic by Euripides. And we’ll hear smart indie-pop from the Montreal band Stars, off their new record In Our Bedroom After the War.
