On the Road, Fellini & All That Jazz [Mondo Jazz Ep. 5]

The Road. A place that inspires music and inspires to listen to music. In this episode of Mondo Jazz we’ll focus on music about roads to Timbuktu, French and Italian streets, being “on the road” and the road as a metaphor for a jazzist’s necessary openness to the unexpected. And some jazz inspired by the soundtrack of Federico Fellini's "La Strada" [The street, in Italian].
