The summer selections continue on this week’s edition of Extra Eclectic, but with a couple extra twists. Host Steve Seel features music by Black American composers in the first hour, with an added undercurrent on the theme of unity. We hear works from Carlos Simon’s Warmth of Other Suns to Valerie Coleman’s Umoja: Anthem of Unity and more.
