Piano Jazz for August 16, 2007
1:05 PM - 2:00 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: "Jack Sheldon Trio"
The multi-talented Jack Sheldon plays a hot bop trumpet and sings in a style that is unique and unforgettable. Jack's long, successful career in music has carried over into the world of television and motion pictures. With the rest of his trio, bassist Bruce Lett and drummer Dave Tull, Sheldon and McPartland make it a party with "Just Friends" and "Days of Wine and Roses."
For over 20 remarkable years, jazz pianist Marian McPartland and her guests have teamed up for an hour of weekly jazz sessions. Whether it's solos, collaboration, reminiscences, or straight talk about influences and style, no two Piano Jazz sessions are ever the same.
More than 500 exciting, talented, jazz professionals (newcomers and all-time favorites) have joined Marian over the years. In fact, Piano Jazz, a production of South Carolina Educational Radio, has been hailed as the "definitive" place to hear the greats of jazz.
Why? Piano Jazz hits a perfect balance between historical perspective and sheer entertainment, a formula that has made the series the longest-running national performance program on public radio.
