He joins Garrett to talk about his opera, \"The Snowy Day\", life in the shadow of his more famous work, and walking in the footsteps of those who came before him. Scott explores jazz's influence overseas and looks back at the activism of Louis Armstrong, Garrett highlights Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s ideas on a renewed economic system, and the guys wrap up by revisiting Dr. King's ideas on \"the white moderate\" and \"the white liberal\". \r\n\r\nPlaylist:\r\n\r\nperf.
