Another longish one, in which I talk jazz and steel with Trinidadian Ron Reid, composer, bassist, steel pannist and professor at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. Hear Ron’s take on arranging for steel orchestras, the steel pan as a jazz instrument and much, much more.

Congratulations! I think that her broadcast offers a really unique opportunity to hear from, and unite, the vast array of talented West Indians the world over. In fact, your broadcast fills an incredible void in North America from those of us who are starved for that kind of connection. Your interviewing style definitely comes across quite well. I will certainly continue to tune in and I also plan to share the link with others. Thanks for sharing. Take care, Felicity
I like what I hear.Lovely program, very educational and inspiring… Thanks Ron, keep up the great work!!
