Last week's Night Lights show, which delves into the music and history of New York City's Five Spot, is now up for online listening:
Making A New Kind Of Scene: New York City's Five Spot
It includes commentary from Five Spot regulars David Amram (also a Five Spot performer) and novelist Dan Wakefield, as well as live Five Spot recordings from Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane or Johnny Griffin, Eric Dolphy and Booker Little, and representational recordings by Cecil Taylor and Ornette Coleman, and poet Frank O'Hara reading "The Day Lady Died."
