Piano Jazz for March 06, 2008
1:05 PM - 2:00 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: "Jeremy Monteiro"
Pianist and vocalist Jeremy Monteiro is known as "Singapore's King Of Swing." From his home base in the bustling South East Asian metropolis, Monteiro performs, teaches, and organizes festivals throughout Asia and around the world. He performs an original, "Asiana," and McPartland joins in for Ellington's "Cotton Tail."
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.
