1:30 PM - 2:30 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: "Central Avenue Breakdown "
Half a century of Los Angeles jazz, embodied by octogenarian composer and conductor Gerald Wilson, offers a lesson in swing to the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. We feature LA stalwart Plas Johnson on songs by Central Avenue composers including 'The Pink Panther' (Henry Mancini), 'Bernie's Tune' (Jerry Leiber, Bernard Miller, and Mike Stoller), and 'The Fatman' (Terry Gibbs). Written by Andrew Rosenblum, Wynton Marsalis hosts.
Jazz at Lincoln Center's Peabody Award–winning radio series, Jazz From Lincoln Center, is hosted by Wynton Marsalis and broadcast weekly to over 240 public radio affiliates nationwide through the Jazz Satellite Network. The show features the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra along with contemporary jazz composers and performers.
Jazz at Lincoln Center is the world's largest not-for-profit arts organization committed to promoting the appreciation and understanding of jazz through performance, education, and preservation.
