Piano Jazz for February 13, 2011
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: 'Latin Romance' With Guest Host Murray Horwitz
Over the years, Marian McPartland has invited some of the greatest Latin musicians to share their tender and torrid musical expressions. From Paquito D'Rivera, Danilo Perez, and Chucho Valdes to Arturo Sandoval, Eddie Palmieri, Gonzalo Rubalcaba, and Tania Maria, these Latin masters share the love with the "Queen of Jazz Piano." This week, McPartland's friend and NPR veteran Murray Horwitz reaches into 30 years of performance archives to bring listeners a soft and swinging valentine
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.
