We honor the life of Ethiopian master pianist, composer, and nun Emahoy Tsegué-Maryam Guébrou. Tune in for a tearjerker from the artist who recently died at the age of 99. Listen on to hear a live take of The Smile’s jazziest number “The Smoke,” coming your way from 2022’s Montreux Jazz Festival. Plus, a plucky new cut from self-described, “indie dance/indie pop troubadour” Woolfy, the latest from hip-hop/R&B wunderkind Jordan Ward, and a deeper dive into the epic 5th LP from Unknown Mortal Orchestra.
