Season Nine of Harmonious World - a cracking opener with Emma Smith

Singer  Emma Smith  has a lot to say - both musically and in the fascinating interview you can hear here .     Meshuga Baby  is an extraordinary album, featuring several beautifully arranged standards and four tracks penned by Smith and pianist Jamie Safir. This conversation was a total delight and a great way to launch season 9 of Harmonious World.     Thanks to Emma for allowing me to use clips from   Meshuga Baby  alongside our conversation.
