I am spoiled.  Within an hour of landing at the New Orleans airport, I've been whisked straight to the Uptown home of Terence Blanchard, a family friend, and plunged into Jazzfest culture.  Gathered around the parlor piano are Terence and Dee Dee Bridgewater, who belts out room-filling renditions of "Caravan" and "All Blues" without a microphone in sight: sublime music as it was meant to be heard, from God's lips to my ears.

When I first heard the album A Church That Fits Our Needs from Lost in the Trees, I was blown away by the beauty of the music and honesty of the lyrics.  The North Carolina band is filled with some of the most skilled musicians we've ever had in Studio A and their session was really impressive.  The videos are great, too!  We'll air this session tonight at 9 on WFUV, but you can also listen to it anytime you want by clicking here.
