Piano Jazz for June 19, 2008
1:05 PM - 2:00 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: "Warren Vache"
Warren Vache is a remarkable horn player — proficient on the trumpet, cornet and flugelhorn. With a warm tone, astounding chops, and his own unique style, Vache has a strong sense of his jazz lineage. His mastery of the traditional jazz repertoire is evident as he joins McPartland, bassist Gary Mazzaroppi, and drummer Glenn Davis for "Basin Street Blues" and "Louisiana."
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.
