Bruce Hornsby joins host Talia Schlanger

Bruce Hornsby tried something a little different for his latest album Absolute Zero. He took music he had originally composed for film director Spike Lee and transformed it into full length songs – the result is some of Hornsby’s widest ranging work to date. He talks about that and more on the next World Cafe.
