Acclaimed film composer (When They See Us, Green Book, Bridgerton) and jazz pianist Kris Bowers sits down with his 91-year-old grandfather, who reflects on his journey to California from Jim Crow Florida. Their exchange mirrors the title's musical form, with stories that illuminate the differences and similarities between their exceptional lives and how one generation can inspire the next. Alexander Rogalski
