The late Freddie Hubbard set the standard for modern jazz trumpet playing in the 60s. He turned up on dozens of albums as a sideman... from cross-over hits by Herbie Hancock, to straight-ahead jazz with drummer Art Blakey to the free jazz explorations of John Coltrane and Ornette Coleman. Here he talks about his well-traveled career in music: from Nap-Town to NYC.

VIRTUOSIC JOURNEYS WITH HERBIE HANCOCK AND RHONDA VINCENT
Jazz pianist Herbie Hancock has made a career of being a musical explorer, playing across genres from soul and funk to folk and rock and breaking down musical barriers along the way. Then we visit with mandolin virtuoso Rhonda Vincent, who shares tales of traveling with the family bluegrass band and now playing at the Grand Ol Opry with her own band, the Rage. Plus music from Joni Mitchell, Billie Holiday, Hugh Masekela and Waylon Jennings.
ROLLING THE STONES WITH CHUCK LEAVELL & BERNARD FOWLER...PLUS ROCKABILLY GENTLEMAN, NARVEL FELTS
The Rolling Stones have been around for over five decades and touring almost as long. This week we listen back to Stones songs about working people, the band's sources in blues, country and gospel, and speak with two of their sidemen who share their tales of working with the group. Pianist and Rolling Stones music director, Chuck Leavell got a fateful call to join the band in 1982 while working on his family's Georgia tree plantation, but before that he played with the Allman Brothers. Singer and percussionist Bernard Fowler was touring with Herbie Hancock before he got the call to come work with the Stones. He recently made a spoken word recording of their songs as social commentary. Then a conversation with Missouri's own Narvel Felts, who tells us about his journey from the cotton fields to the famed studios of Sun and Mercury Records as a rockabilly singer, and later adventures in country and pop. Narvel is a marvel--a maker of some of the best rock n roll songs you've never heard.

FIRE & WATER: THE NEVILLE BROTHERS & HERBIE HANCOCK
Jazz pianist Herbie Hancock joins us to talk about keeping his hardcore jazz credentials while breaking the pop barrier with "Watermelon Man." Hancock recalls famous associations with Miles and more, including those on his River: the Joni Letters, a collection of Joni Mitchell tunes. Plus the four faces of New Orleans' Mount Rushmore -- Art, Aaron, Charles and Cyril -- the Neville Brothers. Since 1954, when Brother Art hit with the ultimate carnival classic "Mardi Gras Mambo," the Nevilles have been on the scene, solo or as a group. We'll hear their legacy of soul, funk and R & B as the brothers tell us how it all came to pass, and how the legacy lives on in the next generation.
