Singer Emma Smith has a lot to say - both musically and in the fascinating interview you can hear here.

Meshuga Baby is an extraordinary album, featuring several beautifully arranged standards and four tracks penned by Smith and pianist Jamie Safir. This conversation was a total delight and a great way to launch season 9 of Harmonious World.

Thanks to Emma for allowing me to use clips from  Meshuga Baby alongside our conversation.

Don't forget the Quincy Jones quote that sums up why I do this: "Imagine what a harmonious world it would be if every single person, both young and old, shared a little of what he is good at doing."
