"A Jazzy Quartet"
Listen to Program

This week on Night Lights it’s “A Jazzy Quartet,” as we explore historical recordings of jazz artists and ensembles with string quartets, ranging from Artie Shaw’s augmented orchestra of the late 1930s to Max Roach’s “double-quartet” of the 1980s. We’ll also hear music from saxophonist Lee Konitz (with arrangements by Bill Russo), vibraphonist Joe Roland (playing Miles Davis’ “Half Nelson”), pianist Andrew Hill, the Modern Jazz Quartet, and more. Jazz meets a classic classical format this week on “A Jazzy Quartet,” airing Saturday, December 16 at 11:05 p.m. EST on WFIU.
