Piano Jazz for November 29, 2007
1:05 PM - 2:00 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: "Dena DeRose
Dena DeRose began her jazz career at the keyboard. When arthritis and carpel tunnel made playing impossible, DeRose discovered a talent for singing. After a full recovery, she's back at the piano, this time with an added asset - an amazing voice that critics and fans celebrate. DeRose performs her own tune, "Home," and McPartland joins in for "I Fall In Love Too Easily."
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.
