Meg Okura is a distinguished violinist/composer who has been decorated with several awards. Her latest album, Ima Ima, is a collection of well thought out and very well executed compositions that stem out of her role as a mother. Join Meg and I as we talk about composing, motherhood, David Bowie, and other somewhat related things.

Ima Ima features Meg Okura on violin, vocals, and erhu; Tom Harrell on trumpet; Sam Newsome on soprano sax; Sam Sadigursky on bass clarinet, clarinet; Anne Drummond on flutes; Riza Printup on harp; Rez Abbasi on guitar; Brian Marsella on piano and electric piano; Pablo Aslan on bass; and Jared Schonig on drums.
