Thursday, April 16, marks the first Public Radio Music Day which celebrates the special role that non-commercial radio stations play in bringing music to our ears.

In Southern California, KCRW is a go-to for finding music, new and old, to enjoy. And some of it you won't hear anywhere else.

The KCRW series, Private Playlist, is a listening session with Southern California's most notable musical figures in their private creative environments. Chris Cohen is a songwriter and multi-instrumentalist with an extensive discography as a solo artist, sideman, producer, and band member. He spoke with KCRW about clearing the mind with experimental jazz and his own frightening near-miss with coronavirus.
