ghost of miles Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 (edited) Composer and film scorer Victor Young received more than 20 Oscar nominations for his film work (he scored films such as Shane and Written On the Wind), and he authored some of the most frequently heard melodies in the jazz canon. Nearly 50 years after his death, he remains largely unknown. Tonight's edition of Night Lights offers interpretations of his work from Miles Davis (“Stella By Starlight”), Lennie Tristano (“Ghost of a Chance”), Billie Holiday (“You’ve Changed”), Frank Sinatra (“Around the World in 80 Days”), Betty Roche (“When I Fall in Love”) and more. “The Victor Young Songbook” airs Saturday, October 1 at 11:05 p.m. (9:05 California time, 12:05 a.m. NYC time) on WFIU. You can listen live, or wait until Monday afternoon, when the program will be archived. For more about Victor Young, see his biography at the Spage Age Pop website. Next week: "Ellington: Money Jungle." Edited February 27, 2011 by ghost of miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
