ghost of miles Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 A new Night Lights program that focuses on the debut and afterlife of Ellington's 45-minute-long musical panorama of African-American history, with extensive commentary from Ellington biographer Harvey Cohen, as well as remarks from Wynton Marsalis and Ellington himself: Black, Brown And Beige: Duke Ellington's Historic Jazz Symphony I'm going to tweak the online version just a bit later today, but the current broadcast audio is available at the link above.

Scott Dolan Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 I definitely want to check this out when I get a chance to sit down with my headphones. I’m curious as to what Wynton had to say since this album was brought up by Crouch several times in his rinse and repeat liner notes for Blood On The Fields.

ghost of miles Posted February 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 We're re-airing Black, Brown and Beige: Duke Ellington's Historic Jazz Symphony this week, and I just found out that WBGO-Newark will be broadcasting it tomorrow night as well from 7-8 p.m. EST. (It will also air on Blue Lake Public Radio, home to our own Lazaro Vega, from 10-11 p.m. EST tomorrow evening.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
