ghost of miles Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 (edited) This week on Night Lights it's "Turn Out the Stars: Jazz Elegies." Sometimes when a great jazz musician dies, another jazz musician writes a musical tribute. On this Memorial Day weekend edition of Night Lights we'll hear elegies for Charlie Parker, Lester Young, Sonny Clark, Clifford Brown, Billie Holiday and more, from artists such as Lennie Tristano, Bill Evans, Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, Jackie McLean, and others. (In one instance we'll hear a tribute performed by Eric Dolphy, followed by a tribute to Dolphy himself.) The program airs this Saturday evening at 11:05 on WFIU. It will be posted to the Night Lights archives by Monday afternoon. Next week: "Decca Jazz Studio 1 and 2."
