"Soundmix: Five Young Musicians" is a one-hour PBS special that profiles five young musicians who are reinvigorating American musical traditions.
Each profile explores the music, mentors, cultures, and communities that fuel the passions of these young players. "Soundmix" also includes scenes from a workshop where the young musicians meet for the first time. Other musicians featured in the program include the trumpeter Wynton Marsalis, the Latin percussionist Louis Bauzo, and the late old time fiddle legend Melvin Wine.
