Jorge Martín was born in Cuba, but he’s called America home since he was
six. He studied at Yale and earned a master’s and doctorate degrees
from Columbia University and now makes his home full-time in Vermont.
I’ll talk with him this morning about his music, and we’ll hear his
jazzy "Hollywood Variations" from 2003.
