 NEA Jazzmaster Hubert Laws' interpretation of classical composer Eric Satie's composition, Gymnopédie No. 1. Hubert Laws is one of the major influences on flute for our featured artist for this hour, Najee, on this edition of The Roots of Smooth. And that selection was preceded by music from Najee's 2012 release, The Smooth Side of Soul, as he covers a Heath Brothers classic, A Sound for Sore Ears.
