After the news comes "Face to Face," in which Justin Coe talks to Bob Seeley, a veteran American boogie-woogie piano player who was in Madrid recently for a week-long stint at Madrid's Café Central jazz club, where he shared the stage with the Catalan pianist Lluís Coloma. Then Alison Hughes looks at Nicanor Parra, winner of the Cervantes Prize, the most prestigious literary award in the Spanish language. Past recipients of the Cervantes Prize include Spain's Ana María Matute, Peru's Mario Vargas Llosa, and Mexico's Octavio Paz.
