On this edition of The Arts Section, host Gary sits down with vocalist Dee Alexander. The Chicago native has been pleasing audiences for decades, now she’s working on a Billie Holiday project. A little later, Gary talks to the author of one of this summer’s most talked about novels. New York Times contributor Lauren Mechling’s new book HOW COULD SHE is a razor sharp comedy of manners that dives into contemporary friendships. The Dueling Critics, Kerry Reid and Jonathan Abarbanel, stop by to talk about a new theatrical production that’s described as Jane Austen meets Steve Jobs. Gary then talks listeners inside the Chicago History’s Chicago Blues exhibit. All that plus the weekly Arts Section calendar is on this edition of The Arts Section..
