The Doris Duke Foundation recently honored a number of creatives with a $500,000 award for their artistry.
One of the awardees is Grammy-nominated jazz harpist Brandee Younger, who released a new album titled "Gadabout Season." She said she picked up the instrument when she was about 11 years old. HPR talked to her about how she managed to bridge the classical world with jazz.
