This week's best-selling CDs
1:00 PM. Night Lights Classic Jazz

Twelve programmes
A weekly jazz programme hosted by David Brent Johnson
(3) 1963, A Man's Dream, A Nation's Nightmare
The year was 1963, and in America the civil-rights movement continued to gain momentum in the face of turmoil and violence, culminating in Martin Luther King's "I Have A Dream" speech, even as ugly rhetoric prevailed from foes such as Alabama governor George Wallace, who proclaimed in his inaugural address, "Segregation now, segregation tomorrow, and segregation forever." United States president John F Kennedy proposed sweeping civil-rights legislation, but he would not live to see its passage; both he and civil-rights activist Medgar Evers would be assassinated in 1963. With America already entering a period of volatility and change, what was happening in the world of jazz?
Ironically enough, in such a time of upheaval, two of the most popular, iconic, and romantically laidback albums of modern jazz history were released - both named simply after the two primary musicians on each date, and recorded within a week and a half of each other in March. We'll hear from tenor saxophonist John Coltrane and singer Johnny Hartman in this first set - Hartman a rather obscure figure by 1963, and Coltrane a star who had just come through a period of controversy after his exploratory directions had him labelled "anti-jazz" by a critic from DownBeat Magazine (WFIU)
