The incandescent Vega makes outrage swing in “Habeas Corpus Blues,” lamenting “a system I wish I could hang / from the highest tree” with Nina Sheldon’s stride piano and Michael Esposito’s bass. Betty MacDonald adds violin and vocal wizardry to several poems; five more were recorded live in Italy and Bosnia. Bravissima!
