Piano Jazz for September 06, 2007
1:05 PM - 2:00 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: Roy Haynes
Roy Haynes is one of the legendary pioneers of jazz drumming. He gave groove to Bird, Miles, Monk and Coltrane and his rhythm pushed many more great names to fame. He and McPartland reminisce about Sarah Vaughan, the Boston Jazz scene and sitting in together on 52nd Street. The ubiquitous Christian McBride joins them on bass for "So What" and a extended version of McPartland's signature theme, "Kaleidoscope."
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.
