"Jazz Women of the 1960s" on Night Lights

[ghost of miles]

Hey fellow O posters, here's the weekly program update for Night Lights:

 

In the 1960s, as the civil-rights movement and other cultural changes gained momentum, a generation of women artists made their way through a jazz world that had long been less than hospitable to their aims. Singers such as Nina Simone and Jeanne Lee, composer Carla Bley, organist Shirley Scott, harpist Dorothy Ashby and fellow harpist and pianist Alice Coltrane, and trumpeter Barbara Donald all left behind some notable recordings from this time of change. It's Jazz Women of the 1960s this week on Night Lights, now archived for online listening.

Problem at the moment with your "Play Episode" link, David - at least on my computer. Will listen when it's fixed.

Thanks for the heads-up, Bill. I told our web person about the problem, and we're looking into it.

Bill, Jazz Women of the 1960s should be good to go now--thanks again for the note.

Now listening!
