The Arts Section 03/14/21

On this edition of The Arts Section, host Gary Zidek catches up with jazz master Wynton Marsalis for conversation about his latest project, THE DEMOCRACY SUITE and what the past 12 months have been like for him. The Dueling Critics, Kerry Reid and Jonathan Abarbanel, join Gary to discuss Steppenwolf Theatre’s latest virtual play. DUCHESS! DUCHESS! DUCHESS!, which was inspired by Megan Markle and her relationship to the Royal Family, is coming out at the exact right time. Later, we’ll get into the St. Patrick’s Day spirit when Gary takes you along to one of the region’s most well known Irish dance studios. And we’ll revisit a segment on a giant immersive FRIENDS pop-up that’s reopening. Plus, Gary previews the Grammys.
