More "Nonaah" Tonight "Out on Blue Lake"

[Lazaro Vega]

Jazz From Blue Lake airs from 10 p.m. to 3 a.m tonight and celebrates the 78th birthday of singer/actress Abbey Lincoln. At midnight, after hearing her duo with Max Roach of "Prayer/Protest/Peace," we'll enter the world of Roscoe Mitchell's composition "Nonaah" and hear the Art Ensemble's September 1973 version of it with Muhal Richard Abrams guesting on piano, followed by Mitchell's solo saxophone version from the Montreal Jazz Festival in October of 1973 and the solo version from November of 1973 in Pori Finland (both on the Solo Saxophone Record, Sackville). Then the 22 minute soon to be re-issued solo alto saxophone version of "Nonaah" recorded in 1976 in Willisau will blow you away. The midnight hour concludes with the Anthony Braxton Creative Orchestra Music performance featuring Mitchell, alto, Braxton, sopranino, followed by the 1977 piece for the same duo "Off Five Dark Six."

No-nay-ah.

Looks like another late night...

Thanks for tuning in on-line, folks. Had a good audience last night at midnight.

Usually I only find out about this post-mortem. Any chance you can archive these shows, at least for a week or two?

[Lazaro Vega]

Patrick, no I'm sorry they're not.
