Batman (1989)

from Crystal Ball Club Hosted by Mike and Nathan

Did the 90s start on January 1st 1990 or 1991? Neither, they began on June 23, 1989 with the release of BATMAN, the first modern blockbuster, with a dizzying array of cross-promotions, product tie-ins, and of course a hit soundtrack by PRINCE. Prince left his imperial decade behind and embarked on the strange journey of the 1990s with this unforgettable album. Join the Crystal Ball Club as we revisit this pivotal turning point in Prince's career. (Jump to album breakdown -- 36:30)

The Late Set WRTI Jazz is a conversation — and that’s what The Late Set is all about. Originated by critic Nate Chinen and broadcaster Greg Bryant, the show now convenes Chinen and Josh Jackson twice a month for perceptive variations on a theme, and their related interview with a special guest. Just like a hang at the end of the gig, in the back of the club, it’s direct, unfiltered and illuminating, revealing the music and its culture in a deeper light.
