Having fun at the JetLAG Festival

About 30 miles from the original Woodstock festival every summer there’s a gathering of Russian, Slavic and East European musicians at the JetLAG Festival in the Catskills.

WBGO's Jon Kalish went to this year’s festival to see how the war in Ukraine affected the performances.
