You Come Here Often? It's not a question, but the name of the piano piece by Michael Tilson Thomas that opens this week’s episode of Extra Eclectic with nods to gathering places: first, the nightclub, with John Adams’ Saxophone Concerto, and then — the “day club?” — with Paul Schoenfield’s Cafe Music. In the second hour, we hear reflections on the afterlife, from composers Steven Mackey, Caroline Shaw, Olivier Messiaen and others. Listen now with host Steve Seel!
