Piano Jazz for February 27, 2011
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: "Roberta Piket"
Pianist and composer Roberta Piket stands among the elite minds of modern jazz. She holds degrees in both Jazz Studies and Computer Science, and is a swinging, straight-ahead player as well as a creative improviser. On this Piano Jazz, she gets together with host Jon Weber for a set of her original music as well some traditional tunes, including the Marian McPartland ballad "In The Days of Our Love"
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.
