Hi! I’m new to your show and caught it on WBGO tonight- Aug.18 2009. The piece I caught was playing at around 7:06 pm – started with a great “jungle beat” then morphed into an almost classical violin cadenza – it was fantastic – left me smiling and laughing at times and deep in at others. Who is it by and can I purchase a recording? Promise to listen now that I know what you do! Thanks
Tony
