This
week on Night Lights its Jazz Goes Disney.
Music has been an important part of the Disney formula ever since the
studio began making films in the late 1920s, and the enormous success
of the so-called Magic Kingdom has pushed many of its movie
songs to the forefront of popular culture.
Inevitably
jazz artists were drawn to the Disney canon, and on this program well
hear recordings from Betty Carter, Bill Evans, Louis Prima, Peggy Lee,
Sonny Rollins, and Sun Ra, among others. Jazz Goes Disney
airs Saturday, September 16 at 11:05 EST on WFIU.
