World Cafe 30th Anniversary show with host Raina Douris

World Cafe is diving into the archives every week to celebrate its 30th Anniversary. This week, we’ll hear a session from 1998 with Ben Folds Five. Notably, this interview was taped for a small audience at the Tongue and Groove studios in Philadelphia – where the band started recording their first album. We’ll also revisit a memorable performance from jazz legend Chick Corea back in 2018. Plus, a young artist on the rise is inducted into the “30 Under 30” list.
