AMERICAN HIGHWAYS #57: KEYS TO THE CITY
In this episode of American Highways, pianist Guy Livingston brings us cities from our global village: Kansas City, Yorktown, Knoxville, Saint Louis, Brooklyn, Houston, and Paris. Music of Laurent Coq, Roger Miller, Tobias Picker, Mark Knopfler, Bernstein, Annie Gosfield, Newt Hinton, Laurie Anderson, and Gershwin. And some odd arrangements to surprise you: An American in Paris on player piano, and Saint Louis Blues…on harpsichord!
