This Thursday at 9:30 PM, Durham torch singer Nnenna Freelon (@nnennafreelon) takes the stage for the week’s installment of Come Hear NC Presents: Shaped by Sound (@mypbsnc). Last Friday, we posted a mix of our favorite of Freelon’s tunes. Now, in the spirit of further kindling your interest before the episode, let’s revisit a Jazz Series session she recorded with the North Carolina Museum of History (@ncmuseumhistory). Recorded four years ago (during the pandemic), the program intersperses song, conversation, and a Q&A, and so is a perfect primer for Thursday night’s show (link in bio).
