Our episode today is coming to you from New York City! Today we meet Jonathan Scales! He is a master steel pan performer and has changed the way people think about the instrument. What is usually thought of as a Caribbean instrument for resorts, something to listen to while sipping pina coladas, or samba music of Trinidad, Scales takes the instrument and reinvents the entire genre. We talk to him about his musical background, stalking Bela Fleck, discuss his album "Pillar" and highlight a few of his works!
