In a show about love, there are millions of love songs to choose from. Studio 360 asked two musicians to give us one more. Guitarist Ben Monder and singer Theo Bleckmann are young jazz masters. They picked an ancient text from Rumi, the 13th century Persian mystic who has improbably become one of the best-known poets in America. Produced by Ave Carrillo.
