Nina Simone on "Night Lights" this week

[ghost of miles]

I'll be featuring the mid-1960s Philips recordings of Nina Simone on Night Lights this week:

The program airs Saturday at 11:10 p.m. (9:10 California, 12:10 a.m. New York) and can be heard online at WFIU. It is already available for listening on the home page under "Current Audio." All of the previous programs are now archived as well.

And, just for grins, there's an article about the show in the local paper today:

H-T Night Lights

I was running on 4 hours of sleep & taping a Woody Herman big bands show right before going on the afternoon jazz program live, so please pardon the grimly focused look.

In a couple of weeks I'll be doing a show on the Herbie Nichols Project; co-leader (and Organissimo poster) Frank Kimbrough will be the guest. Also hoping/planning to do "The Nessa Records Story" in the spring!
