Now that the roar of our annual fund-drive has finally subsided...

This week on Night Lights it's "Homecoming: Dexter Gordon in the Late 1970s." In the late 1970s tenor saxophonist Dexter Gordon returned to the United States after a fourteen-year-long sojourn in Europe; a series of wildly successful gigs and a new contract with Columbia Records persuaded him to stay. We'll hear music from the live double-album Homecoming, as well as tracks from a recent reissue of the record Manhattan Symphonie, the album Sophisticated Giant, and a 3-CD anthology of Gordon's performances at the Keystone Korner in San Francisco. "Homecoming" airs Saturday, November 19 at 11:05 p.m. on WFIU; you can listen live, or wait until Monday afternoon, when the program will be posted in the Night Lights archives.

Next week: "Moodsville 2."
