Oscar Peterson, George Crile & Ensemble-Karamu Connection

Today we enter "Charlie Wilson's War," with the Cleveland man who first brought this story to light -- the late George Crile. Dee shares an archived interview with Crile from 2003, as he discusses his book, which inspired the new filmstarring Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts. Plus, we remember piano legend Oscar Peterson, who passed away late last month, as we re-air Dee's interview with Peterson from 2002. And, the new staged collaboration between Karamuand EnsembleTheaters.
