"Jazz Cameos"
Listen to Program | Playlist

This week on Night Lights it's "Jazz Cameos," a program of pop-rock tracks featuring jazz soloists. Even if you don't usually listen to jazz, chances are that you've heard Sonny Rollins, Phil Woods, Zoot Sims, Hugh Masekela, Chet Baker, and other jazz luminaries... did you know that it was Rollins soloing on the Rolling Stones' "I'm Just Waiting on a Friend"? Woods on Billy Joel's "Just the Way You Are"? West Coast saxophonist Curtis Amy wailing away on the Doors' "Touch Me"? All this and more this Saturday evening at 11:05 on WFIU's Night Lights.
