The show begins with a cut by Arthur Blythe, "Jitterbug Waltz" and moves right on into a more recent cut from Kamasi Washington off his CD The Epic. The program goes on highlighting artists featured in each chapter of this groundbreaking book on the continuing evolution of jazz music around the world.

Also featured on the show is Brad Mehldau with a song from his groundbreaking album, Highway Rider and music from other innovators like John Zorn, Danilo Pérez and —rounding things out —Mary Halvorson.
