This week, an interview with stellar cellist Jeffrey Zeigler, a man equally at home on the East and West coasts, not to mention Fresno, California, where Guy first met him. In this episode of American Highways, pianist Guy Livingston brings us music that has inspired Zeigler, as well as tracks from his new solo CD, ‘Something of Life’.
