Sat. Mar. 19 at 8 p.m. on 90.5 FM & STREAMING | Join host Michael Stratton for an interview with Diego Rivera, jazz artist and educator at MSU.
Host Michael Stratton sits down for the entire two-hour show with Jazz saxophonist, and MSU Artist-Faculty member Diego Rivera as they discuss his newly released album Mestizo. Rivera talks about how he thinks this is his most auto-biographical album, one steeped in Chicano influences.
The two dive into the album's works, including the first track, "Battle Fatigue," a piece written in the wake of the Derek Chauvin guilty verdict for the murder of George Floyd, and simultaneously while Rivera was fighting his own infection of COVID-19.
