"Sing It and Wing It" with Gabriela Montero

A pianist who can't HELP improvising: Gabriela Montero in the PT studios. She takes a call from a PT listener, who sings a tune. Montero improvises around it on the spot. Plus, we'll have an interview with pianist Lang Lang from the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.
