The Soloist, In A Duet
The Soloist. He inspired a popular film, based on a book written by our contributor, L.A. Times columnist Steve Lopez. And on this week's SoCal Connected, Steve updates the story of Nathaniel Ayers, a once-homeless and troubled man and a true musical genius.
Lopez brought Mr. Ayers to a recording studio for our story. While there, he performed this duet with Joanne Pearce Martin, Principal Keyboardist for the Los Angeles Philharmonic.
Steve Lopez writes about the recording session in his most recent column. Plus, the LA Times has collected all the columns Lopez has written about Nathaniel Ayers on this page. More video there, too.
