Piano Jazz for February 28, 2008
1:05 PM - 2:00 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: "Tammy Hall"
Pianist, composer, and arranger Tammy Hall is one of the most in-demand musicians in the San Francisco Bay Area. A truly versatile pianist, Hall's virtuosity dazzles whether she's playing Brazilian, salsa or straight ahead jazz. She performs several of her own tunes, including "Sermon in Blue" and "Hymn to Lacy B.," tributes to her grandmother.
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.
