"'It Came From Texas"
Listen to Program

It’s one of the biggest states in the Union, and throughout the 20th century it was a wellspring of musical vitality, producing artists such as Ornette Coleman, Scott Joplin, Hot Lips Page, and Jimmy Giuffre. We’ll hear all of those musicians and more, including Amos Milburn, Charles Brown, Jack Teagarden, and John Carter, as we take a Lone Star State journey this week on Night Lights with “It Came From Texas,” airing Saturday, August 19 at 11 p.m. on WFIU. (Note: To learn more about jazz and blues from Texas, read Dave Oliphant’s Texan Jazz. A future Night Lights program will be devoted solely to the vast topic of Texan tenor saxophonists.)
