World Cafe Playlist for 03/27/2026
Flea joins host Stephen Kallao
Before Flea became a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame bassist with Red Hot Chili Peppers, he played the trumpet as a child. He’d watch his stepfather and his friends jam in their New York City living room. It inspired a lifelong obsession, and a promise, that one day he’d record his own jazz album. Flea joins us to talk about fulfilling that promise on Honora.
