Piano Jazz for October 24, 2010
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: "Tony Bennett"
Tony Bennett is one of the great American singers, known throughout the world for his mellow tenor voice and swinging bel canto style. On this 2004 Piano Jazz, Bennett talks about his love of painting, his favorite songwriters, and the significance of the American popular song. He and McPartland perform "Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams, "All of Me, and other great standards. An excerpt of this program can also be found in the 30th Anniversary Piano Jazz Interactive
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.
