Piano Jazz for January 16, 2011
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: "Marian McPartland and Friends at Dizzy's Club Coca Cola"
Part Three: The Generations In Jazz celebration from Dizzy's continues with a musical meeting of veteran performers and the brightest young artists on the scene. Host Jon Weber joins Marian McPartland to perform a duet of "Do Nothing 'Til You Hear From Me," saxophone legend Frank Wess makes a surprise appearance, and Geri Allen performs a McPartland favorite, Thad Jones' beautiful "A Child Is Born
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.
