The Waves Cafe is a new kind of venue: a pop-up cafe where the menu features live poetry and new music. Described as small, fresh, ephemeral, and unpredictable, you never know what you’re going to hear through this refreshed approach to live music. The Waves Cafe's founder, Maura Bosch, joins Garrett (1:05:00) to talk about what inspired The Waves Cafe, the importance of this unique space in today's arts ecosystem, and more. Scott and Garrett celebrate Solange's collaboration with New York City Ballet, speak to the fall of Plácido Domingo, and offer music from the silver screen.
