My guest this week is my brother Saxophone and flute player Ras Moshe Burnett, who has been part of the creative music community in Brooklyn and New York City for forty plus years.

This week on No Sound Left Behind,  our first interview. Pianist and composer Chris Forbes has been on the front line of creative music for a long time.   His music is spiritual, connected to nature and the Earth, and swings. He also possesses a brilliant and extremely aware, contemporary mind.

A short episode about my walk through times Square Manhattan in the wind, with Pharaoh Sanders.
