An all new show on The Evening Edition that examines the album as a work of art, using it as the basis for a conversation about everything; history, politics, philosophy, technology, movies and, of course, music. On this, our very first episode, Ezra and Uma take you all the way back to 1962, to the Apollo Theatre in Harlem, for a discussion about soul, gospel, black America, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the various gyrations of James Brown.
