Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive transition in 5th Symphony in Congo Square where Beethoven meets a heavy New Orleans drum line.
Big Freedia's bounce energy injecting a frantic, celebratory pace into the Freedom remix.
The intimate, breathy piano work on Saint James Infirmary Blues that honors the tradition while feeling modern.
