America in Miniatures And More

Click the play button to listen

The featured album on this edition is from guitarist Miles Okazaki who gathers an extraordinary cast of ten musicians to create Miniature America, a collection of 22 vignettes exploring the wonder of chance encounters and "found" compositions. I am featuring four of these pieces. The rest of the show includes brand new releases of both studio and live albums.
