Synopsis
Grammy-nominated jazz musician Jonathan Butler is the headliner for this Saturday's Harbor Park Jazz Rhythm & Blues Festival in Kenosha. He was born in South Africa in abject poverty at a time when Apartheid was in full effect - but managed to break through in an unprecedented way- becoming the first Black musician to have their work played on white radio. His music was an inspiration and comfort to Nelson Mandela during the last years of his imprisonment. After the interview, I play several of his songs in their entirety.
