Scott travels with guitarist Manuel Barrueco and pianist Juan Perez Floristan through the great Spanish cities of Andalusia, to see how Isaac Albéniz captured their culture, history and sounds in a brilliant series of musical portraits, his most celebrated works.
Scott follows modern composer, steel pan virtuoso and video artist Andy Akiho through his neighborhoods of New York, to figure out how this unassuming musical visionary has combined Caribbean, Asian and jazz influences to become one of today’s most in-demand composers.
Scott goes to Scotland, Germany and France, with leading musicians, psychiatrists and scholars, to try to understand the connection between mental health and creativity in the work of Robert Schumann and other great artists. Featuring the great cellist Bion Tsang.
Scott and Alice travel to Buenos Aires to discover the music of Astor Piazzolla, who fell in love with tango. Then fell out of love. Then tango fell out of love with him. Scott and Alice play with Argentina’s greatest musicians and dancers, to find out if Piazzolla and tango could reconcile.
