Legacy Player:
Chris Douridas hosts a very special conversation with the great Leonard Cohen and his collaborator Anjani, in celebration of her new album Blue Alert (on which Anjani sings songs she crafted from Leonard's previously unpublished lyrics.) The couple talk about how she selected poems from his notebooks to develop into songs, occasional frictions in the creative process, as well as Leonard's feelings about the unprecedented act of giving his words to another songwriter.

Host
Chris was KCRW's second music director and host of Morning Becomes Eclectic in the nineties. Today, Douridas delivers his impeccable taste each Saturday on New Ground (and weekdays with 5 new original shows for KCRW's Music Channel), but you may be surprised to learn he is also the man behind the music on some of the coolest movies. From Austin Powers to American Beauty, from Grosse Point Blank to Shrek 2, Chris makes eclectic music global.
