Piano Jazz for October 25, 2007
1:05 PM - 2:00 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: "Betty Buckley"
Tony Award-winning singer Betty Buckley is a veteran of such Broadway hits as Cats, Gypsy and Sunset Boulevard. She's lauded as one of the best voices in modern musical theater, but she's also a real cowgirl. She talks about her life on the stage, her home on the range, and she performs a collection of favorites with her musical director Kenny Werner, including "Stardust" and "Angel Eyes."
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.
