this week, we talk politics and art with Greil Marcus.
Plus, jazz fans in the Twin Cities bring their beloved music live into their homes, and local non-profit literary presses are celebrating notable anniversaries.

State of the Arts host Marianne Combs finds out.
Living Room Jazz Club
Some jazz devotees around the Twin Cities are turning their living rooms into their very own jazz club. Minnesota Public Radio's Marisa Helms took in a recent jazz concert in a Minneapolis living room.
