"Do It Again: Jazz Re-makes" on Night Lights

[ghost of miles]

 

This week on Night Lights it’s Do It Again: Jazz Remakes Jazz artists have occasionally revisited albums years or decades after their original release, sometimes rerecording them in their entirety. Often this has been done to take advantage of new, better-sounding audio technology, to explore the longer LP format (some "albums" were originally 78 folios or 10-inch long-players), or simply to tackle material through a different aesthetic filter. On this edition of Night Lights we’ll hear such revisitations from vocalist Helen Merrill and arranger Gil Evans, saxophonist Gerry Mulligan, trombonist Curtis Fuller, pianist Mal Waldron, and other artists such as Duke Ellington and June Christy who have given material a second-time-around treatment.

 

 

“Do It Again: Jazz Remakes” airs Saturday, July 15 at 11:05 p.m. EST on WFIU and at 9 p.m. Central Time on WNIN-Evansville. It also airs at 10 p.m. EST on Michigan's Blue Lake Public Radio (FM 90.3 and 88.8). The program will be posted in the Night Lights archives Monday afternoon.

I'm glad, Bentsy; especially happy to have listeners in Israel. White Lightning tells me that he posts the show in his jazz forum there. Actually, he may collaborate with me on one or two Night Lights programs in the coming year.
