Piano Jazz for May 15, 2011
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: Dianne Reeves
One of the preeminent jazz singers of our time, Dianne Reeves continues the legacies of Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, and Sarah Vaughn, and has won three consecutive Grammys for Best Jazz Vocal Performance. On this Piano Jazz, host McPartland accompanies Reeves on "Softly As In A Morning Sunrise" and "Million Dollar Secret.
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.
