Grammy nominee and jazz accordionist Victor Prieto graduated from Berklee in 2002. Born in Spain, the New York City-based composer and bandleader writes music that combines jazz, classical, tango, Celtic, and Brazilian music with sounds steeped in his Galician heritage.

This episode features Prieto in a duo setting with fellow Berklee alumnus and saxophonist Chris Cheek, who plays soprano on "Chatting with Chris." Both musicians are performing at Berklee in November 2015 in an NPR broadcast filmed and recorded at Berklee's Cafe 939 in the year's first installation of the music series, The Checkout—Live at Berklee.
