Havin’ Fun With Bing
and Louis
January 25, 2008
This week on Afterglow it’s “Havin’
Fun With Bing and Louis,” as we feature circa-1950
radio broadcasts of Bing Crosby’s CBS Chesterfield
program, with special guests that include Peggy Lee, Jack
Teagarden, Ella Fitzgerald, and Crosby’s good friend
Louis Armstrong. Crosby and Armstrong enjoyed a natural,
easygoing chemistry that’s reflected in some of the
banter we’ll hear, as well as musical performances
of “Blueberry Hill,” “I Get Ideas,”
and a rendition of W.C. Handy’s “Memphis Blues”
on which the two are joined by Ella Fitzgerald. We’ll
also hear some selections from Joni Mitchell’s 2000
jazz-standards record Both Sides Now, as well as
music from trumpeter Roy Hargrove, saxophonist Gerry Mulligan,
and more. “Havin’ Fun With Bing and Louis”
airs Friday, Jan. 25 at 10:05 p.m. EST on WFIU.
Afterglow airs every Friday evening at 10:05 p.m.
EST on WFIU. Broadcasts are made available for listening
at any time the following week in the Afterglow
archives.
