A recent Night Lights program focusing on the brief but significant musical partnership of pianist Horace Parlan and saxophonist Stanley Turrentine is now available for online listening:

Do you mention Carl Arter?

I didn't, unfortunately.  It would have been tough to pack info about him into the show (which, as always, required script cuts after I put together the initial rough draft), but I'll try to add something to the web post tomorrow.  Thanks for the suggestion.

Back in the day I accompanied Michael Frank of Earwig to Pittsburgh for some recording sessions with Arter and Tiny Irvin. A bit later Stanley said "so you met my mentor" with a big smile.

The web-post has been updated with a reference to Carl Arter and a special note of thanks to Chuck at the bottom of the page:

Thanks, I have listened to over half of this--and it's great.  

I undervalued Turrentine for quite some time.  He and his records seemed to be "typical" Blue Note.  I was clearly selling him short, and the same was true for Parlan.
