Inspired Music: "Fantasia, the Lightning Sonata" by Tony Cicoria, and "Three Tributes" from the Freeman Brothers

Sometimes inspiration comes like a bolt from the blue. On this edition of Watching America, we hear the story of “acquired savant” Tony Cicoria, who became musically inspired after being struck by lightning. His story was was brought to public attention in the book, “Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain,” by Oliver Sacks. We hear another inspirational musical tale from brothers James and Robert Freeman. They are musicians who come from a notably musical family. To honor their parents, the Freeman brothers commissioned 3 compositions to honor their parents, Henry and Florence Knope Freeman. The CD is titled “Three Tributes,” and the music is composed by Kevin Puts, Andrea Clearfield, and Gunther Schuller. You can find Cicoria’s “Notes From an Accidental Pianist,” which includes “Fantasia, the Lightning Sonata,” at https://music.apple.com/us/album/notes-from-an-accidental-pianist-and-composer/295902083 You can find “Three Tributes” at https://www.innova.mu/albums/james-and-robert-freeman/three-tributes

Trumpeting Success: Chris Botti's Journey in Music

Acclaimed trumpeter Chris Botti has collaborated with some of the biggest superstars on the planet, including Sting, Paul Simon, Barbra Streisand, Lady Gaga, Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra, Aretha Franklin, and more. He successfully crossed over from jazz renown to pop stardom — but his first album in more than a decade finds him crossing back. “Vol.1,” releasing in October from Blue Note Records, is in many ways a fresh start for the trumpeter. It is a small group project focused on acoustic jazz and classic standards. “I turned 60 in 2022, at a time that seemed like a restart for so many things in the world,” Botti said. “I wanted to strip away all the orchestral arrangements and special guests and focus more on my playing, the playing of my band, and these jazz classics that we always love playing on stage.” He joins Dr. Alan Campbell this week on Watching America to talk about his career and his latest project. https://chrisbotti.com
