About this episode

This episode features architect Tom Phifer, author Alastair Gordon, and jazz vocalist Jeanie Bryson discussing architecture, design, and music.

Acclaimed architect Tom Phifer builds around light, with three decades designing buildings that make walls feel invisible. Author Alastair Gordon has written more than 28 books and knows all the midcentury Modern houses in the Hamptons that shaped American architecture. Jeanie Bryson spent decades as a jazz vocalist, sharing stages with Grover Washington Jr., Kenny Burrell, and Etta Jones. Having a famous but also secret father helped, yet losing her husband and musical partner had her step away from performing for years. Now she's back, and we're lucky to have her.
