Jazz At Lincoln Center for May 04, 2008
1:30 PM - 2:30 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: "Kenny Barron solo redux"
Pianist Kenny Barron, a behemoth of modern jazz improvisation, built his legacy as a sideman with Yusef Lateef and Dizzy Gillespie, but playing solo is where he truly shines. At the Stanley Kaplan Penthouse, he sweeps through standards and originals, with a touch that is the envy of classical players. We'll hear "Well You Needn't," "Gone with the Wind," and "Song for Abdullah."
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.
