Piano Jazz for July 03, 2008
1:05 PM - 2:00 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: Bill Evans
Pianist Bill Evans was a giant of jazz piano and one of McPartland's first guests on Piano Jazz in 1979. On this program, the usually quiet and reserved musical genius opens up about his approach and philosophy. Evans solos on one of his most famous tunes, "Waltz for Debbie," and joins McPartland for a piano duet of "In Your Own Sweet Way
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.
