Piano Jazz for December 06, 2009
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: "Christian McBride"
Christian McBride is one of the premier bassists on the jazz scene today. He has appeared on Piano Jazz numerous times as a sideman backing such artists as Jack DeJohnette and JJ Johnson. On this program from 2001, McBride take center stage to talk about his favorite gigs and to jam with McPartland on "Billie's Bounce" and "Midnight Sun."
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.
