Piano Jazz for October 18, 2007
1:05 PM - 2:00 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: "Bill Frisell"
Guitarist Bill Frisell has been on the cutting edge of jazz guitar since his arrival on the scene in the early 1980s. With an amazing technique and creative mind, he has incorporated the whole of American music in his work, relying on country, blues, rock and jazz. He solos on the Hank Williams honky-tonk classic, "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry," before joining McPartland for "Blue Monk."
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.
