Comment
Series Overview:
"Sunday Night" (1st season) and "Night Music" (2nd season) was a show broadcast
on US television during the 1988-89 and 1989-90 seasons. Many think it was the best
music-oriented show ever broadcast in this country and I'd be hard put to disagree.
It was hosted during the first season by Jools Holland and David Sanborn and during the second
by Sanborn alone. I wouldn't be surprised if the show was the template or at least the inspiration
for "Later with Jools Holland." One of the most interesting features of the show was the unusual
pairings of musical guests such as Richard Thompson and John Cale, Eric Clapton and Robert
Cray and the like. Each episode also featured an archival clip or two, ranging from the
musical to the bizarre. The show boasted a killer house band, with players like Marcus Miller,
George Duke, Hiram Bullock and Omar Hakim. As far as I know, the shows have never been
rebroadcast in the US or been made available commercially. I believe at least some of them
were rebroadcast in Japan at some time during the 1990s but I've seen no commercial product
from that series either, and I've been looking. The executive producer of the show was Lorne
Michaels of "Saturday Night Live" fame, by the way
