Piano Jazz for September 05, 2010
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: "Vijay Iyer with Guest Host Arturo O'Farrill"
The multifaceted Vijay Iyer's resume includes pianist, composer, bandleader, writer and PhD. candidate in Physics. Last year his Vijay Iyer Trio won a treasure trove of accolades for the album Historicity. On this session, Iyer performs Geri Allen's "I'm All Smiles," and duets with guest host Arturo O'Farrill on the bluesy Iyer original "Abundance."
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.
