"The Revolution Will Be Recorded: The Flying Dutchman Story"

[ghost of miles]

Last week's Night Lights program, The Revolution Will Be Recorded: The Flying Dutchman Story, took a look at producer Bob Thiele's Flying Dutchman label and is now archived for online listening. It includes music from Gil Scott-Heron, Duke Ellington, Oliver Nelson (lots of Oliver Nelson!), Leon Thomas, Gato Barbieri, Louis Armstrong and others, as well as excerpts from some of the spoken-word recordings that the label released. There was so much to cover that I'm going to do a sequel next year.

David, if you need this one for Episode 2, I can provide.
