Piano Jazz for September 27, 2007
1:05 PM - 2:00 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: Loren Schoenberg
Saxophonist and music historian Loren Schoenberg is one of the preeminent authorities on jazz today. He's a prolific writer, a tireless educator and seasoned archivist, and he currently serves as the executive director of the Jazz Museum in Harlem. Bassist Gary Mazzaroppi joins Schoenberg and McPartland for "Prelude to A Kiss" and "Sposin."
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.
