This week Rob talks with multi-instrumentalist Jason Crosby. Jason takes time out while on the road with Jackson Browne to talk about his musical upbringing and the amazing opportunities that he had. Coming from a classical background, Jason's indoctrination into the world of improvisation was literally learning while on stage. His exposure to the Dead came at a relatively late age but soon he was learning about the music while onstage with Phil Lesh and Bob Weir. Jason shares great stories about playing with them and many of the other legendary performers he has worked with. Also on this episode is Nate Powell of Memphis based Left Unsung and we honor Lee Dorsey in the Black Music Moment.
