Friday Night Jazz

Duke Ellington was the composer of American jazz standards such as Mood Indigo, sumptuous extended works like The Afro Eurasian Eclipse, The Far East Suite and three Sacred Concerts. He was also the consummate multitasker.

Clark Terry is a versatile and swinging 93 year-old trumpeter, flugelhornist, composer and bandleader whose resume includes stints with Quincy Jones, Count Basie and Duke Ellington. He was the first African American musician in The Tonight Show Band. In 2010, Terry received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.

Tonight we continue our survey of Big Band Jazz (and jazz-related ensembles)in the first hour, then continue with new releases by Jason Marsalis, Mark Egan, Next Collective, Mimi Fox, and others.
