Piano Jazz for June 12, 2008
1:05 PM - 2:00 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: "Joe Wilder"
Piano Jazz honors the legendary trumpeter Joe Wilder, a 2008 recipient of the Jazz Masters Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts. Wilder is known for his warm lyrical sound and his mastery of the trumpet, whether he's 'laying jazz or classical music. In this program from 2001, Wilder and bassist Rufus Reid join McPartland for "It's Easy to Remember" and "Far Away Places."
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.
