ghost of miles Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 In the autumn of 1962 three jazz giants—Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus, and Max Roach—met for an album session that has become legendary. (So legendary, in fact, that it’s inspired an audio storyboard—see this site). Years later, Roach observed, “We (Roach and Mingus) were supposed to be the hot young guys, but we were scrambling” to keep up with Ellington. It’s “Money Jungle” this week on Night Lights, airing Saturday, October 8 at 11:05 p.m. (9:05 California time, 12:05 a.m. New York City time) on WFIU. We’ll also hear selections from an Ellington piano demo of selections from The River Suite, taken from the new Storyville release THE PIANO PLAYER. This edition of Night Lights will also air on WNIN-Evansville an hour before the Bloomington broadcast. Next week: "Porgy & Bess: the 1950s Jazz Revival."
