Piano Jazz for November 01, 2007
1:05 PM - 2:00 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: "Robert Glasper"
Pianist and composer Robert Glasper is a young and powerful voice on the jazz scene. With technique to burn and a deep melodic intellect, he seamlessly blends elements from hip-hop, alt. rock, and jazz, creating his own unique and dynamic style. He kicks off the show with an original tune, "Rise and Shine," and jams with McPartland on Herbie Hancock's "Dolphin Dance."
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.
