MS - Jonathan Butler

We speak with jazz musician Jonathan Butler, who is the headliner of the upcoming Harbor Park Jazz Rhythm and Blues Festival in Kenosha.   Mr. Butler grew up in severe poverty in South Africa during the time of Apartheid -  and was the first black artist to have his music played on white radio stations in his homeland.   During his imprisonment, Nelson Mandela drew great inspiration from hearing Butler's music.
