Capitol Chat Democrats may have control of California's legislature, but is it safe to assume the party is as cohesive as we might think?  Joining us for this weeks' Capitol Chat to discuss the evolving dynamics of the Golden State's government is Capital Public Radio's Capitol Bureau Chief Ben Adler. Curious about who will fill California's 7th congressional seat? Post-election, votes continue to be counted, and the winner is unknown. We'll talk with the Sacramento Bee's senior opinion editor Dan Morain to find out more.
 
 
"Cemetery Rose" Louise Mitchell has produced a 30-minute documentary telling the stories behind the historic rose gardens that reside in Sacramento's Old City Cemetery. "Cemetery Rose" will be screened at Antiquite Maison Privee, November 17 at 8 p.m. Her film is scored by Sacramento guitarist Ross Hammond and he will play live at the screening of the film.
 
 
CAVE Women is an eclectic group of five local musicians who are either attending or have graduated from Sacramento State University. Their often jazzy, sometimes gypsy, sound draws from the groups collective background in classical, a capella, Brazilian, and African music. CAVE Women is releasing its first full-length album November 15.
 
 
Sound Advice: Jazz In our regular weekly music series, Capital Public Radio's All Things Considered and Jazz host Devin Yamanaka joins us with some new jazz releases from Diana Krall, the Brubeck Jazz Quintet and more.
