Piano Jazz for November 08, 2009
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: Pianist Aaron Diehl is a very recent graduate of The Juilliard School of Music, but he's most assuredly an up-and-coming force in jazz. Dubbed "the Real Diehl" by the reigning prince of jazz, Wynton Marsalis, Diehl displays a brilliant technique and a truly creative approach to music whether he's interpreting Tatum, Ellington, or Mozart. He joins McPartland on "April in Paris" and "One Morning in May."
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.
