"Portraits of Harlem" this week on Night Lights


Recommended Posts

This past week's Night Lights show, Portraits of Harlem, is now up for online listening. It includes several rare 1939 and 1945 broadcast excerpts of James P. Johnson's Harlem Symphony, the entire 1963 recording of Duke Ellington's A Tone Parallel to Harlem with the Paris Symphony Orchestra, and more music from Benny Carter, Roy Eldridge, Clifford Thornton, Cab Calloway, Johnny Otis, Louis Armstrong and more. I also talk with John Howland, author of Ellington Uptown: Duke Ellington, James P. Johnson and the Birth of Concert Jazz.
