Opus 52

Everyone knows the name Derek Chauvin at this point, but do you know about the Black piano player named Louis Chauvin? The guys explore the more nefarious side of his legacy, and his relationship with Scott Joplin. Scott (Blankenship) reacts to the idea of white tears being violent, and offers a challenge to white-led orchestras. In honor of Black Music Appreciation Month, Garrett chats with Alicia Waller about her latest album, "Some Hidden Treasure", and Garrett and Scott unpack "The Birdcage" in honor of Pride Month. 

Listen:
"Some Hidden Treasure" -  Alicia Waller & The Excursion
"Heliotope Bouquet" - Louis Chauvin/Scott Joplin 

Watch:
"The Birdcage" (dir. Mike Nichols)
