Laughing Planet/Soma Coffehouse
Provides health-food burritos and coffee to traveling musicians and Bloomington residents, as well as production support for Night Lights.

Chris Albertson
A two-time Grammy winner, Bessie Smith biographer, and veteran jazz producer and writer, Chris listens to Night Lights from his digs in New York City and is currently at work on an autobiography.

David Baker
A legendary musician, composer, and jazz education pioneer, David has won too many honors and accolades for us to list them all here. You can hear a Night Lights program about his early-1960s collaborations with pianist and composer George Russell here: “When Russell Met Baker.”

Dick Bishop
Creator and longtime host of WFIU’s jazz-and-American-popular-song program Afterglow. Class, panache, great taste… just a few possible word choices for the Wikipedia entry that somebody should write about Dick.

Hometown
Musician and writer Tom Roznowski’s epic series reconstructing 1920s and 30s Terre Haute, Indiana. More than 450 three-minute episodes aired between 1995 and 2004, and the program continues in reruns Saturday evenings at 8 on WFIU.

Landlocked Music
Bloomington’s coolest record store.

Mark Sheldon
Indianapolis-based jazz photographer.

Michael McGerr
An American historian and Indiana University professor, Michael also possesses an expertise and passion for jazz and other forms of popular music. You can hear him in the previous WFIU documentaries “Bix Beiderbecke: Never the Same Way Twice” and “Jump for Joy: Duke Ellington’s Celebratory Musical,” as well as the Profiles program that we devoted to him.

Nate Dorward
A jazz writer, blogger, and Night Lights listener from the north.

Organissimo
A mighty organ trio from Michigan, featuring Jim Alfredson on Hammond B-3, Joe Gloss on guitar, and Randy Marsh on drums. Smoking permitted whenever these guys play...by necessity. In their spare time they run the best jazz discussion board on the Internet.

Rhythm Ranch
In the late 1990s Greg Adams and I got our start in radio co-hosting a vintage American music program called Back to the Tracks. For the past few years Greg has been doing this two-hour program—devoted to classic and obscure rockabilly, country, pop, R & B, and more—every Monday evening from 7 to 9 on Bloomington’s community radio station WFHB.

Stereo Jack’s
Jack Woker’s record shop in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Some day we’re going to make the pilgrimage…
