This week’s of Themes and Variation is full of intrigue, excitement, and unanswered questions. What else would you expect from a theme like “Mysterious Songs?”

For this one, Carter was joined by his co-producer and frequent co-host, Mahea Lee (composer, arranger, music educator) and one of our favorite people on the face of the planet, the inimitably wonderful trumpet player, singer, and songwriter, Rhys Tivey. Together we discussed the music and mystery of a timeless jazz ballad, a transcendent indie rock song, and a track responsible for countless internet conspiracies.
