This week on Inside the Arts, conversation with jazz icon Dee Dee Bridgewater. The Grammy award winning singer-songwriter will join Irvin Mayfield and the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra in a performance of works from the Holiday songbook.
Then, we travel back in time to Bedford Falls, New York for a live radio stage production of It's A Wonderful Life. The NOLA Voice Talent Foundation brings the Holiday classic to NOLA Christmasfest.
And, we round out with a hip Yuletide treat as Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn's Nutcracker Swing comes to town. It's a jazzy interpretation of Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite featuring the Lula Elzy Dance Theater and the Ellis Marsalis Ensemble and Orchestra conducted by Jesse McBride.
Airs Tuesdays at 1:00 p.m. and Thursdays at 8:45 a.m.
