    Two Way Conversation

    We sample the artistry of late Jazz guitarist Barney Kessel in "Two Way Conversation," a series of duets with bassist Red Mitchell. Also, another duet from American Composer Lou Harrison, featuring guitarist David Tanenbaum and percussionist William Winant. Later in the evening, Duke Ellington and Estonian composer Arvo Pärt find common ground via the piano, in two serenely simple masterpieces: "Single Petal of a Rose" and "For Alina."

    Also Featured Tonight:

    Arnold Dreyblatt / "Lapse"
    Bob Mintzer / Quartet No. 1 in Three Movements
    George Phillip Telemann / Concerto No. 6 in A Minor
    Johannes Brahms / Waltzes, Op. 39 (selections)

    Stereogum.com (don't you love the internet?) identifies the singer of Jon Brion's "Little Person" as Deanne Storey (??).

    It is a wonderful song - unfortunately much better than the movie.

    What was the music that played on Friday, Nov. 21 advertising Evening Music with Terrance McNight. It's classical and very stirring.

    Thanks
