Philly Made

Trumpeter Bell Thompson found her way to Philadelphia through a mentor, Terell Stafford. During a recent visit to WRTI, she talked with Nicole Sweeney, and played music from her new debut, Most Prized.

Pianist James Fernando reps the Philly jazz scene as a fairly recent arrival — but his new album, Philly 3, shows how deeply he's committed. He sat down with WRTI's Nicole Sweeney before an in-studio performance by his trio.
