Piano Jazz for March 13, 2008
1:05 PM - 2:00 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: " Benny Golson"
Saxophonist Benny Golson has been a jazz innovator ever since he came to prominence backing Benny Goodman and Dizzy Gillespie. With popular tunes such as "Killer Joe" and "Whisper Not," many of Golson's tunes have become jazz standards. He joins McPartland on another Golson classic, "I Remember Clifford."
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.
