Piano Jazz for July 31, 2011
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: Pianist Jason Moran
Moran had a banner year in 2010. He was awarded a highly coveted "genius award" from the MacArthur Foundation, and his trio Bandwagon's album, Ten, topped the JazzTimes Critics' Poll. On this 2002 session Moran performs his tune "Ravel/States of Art," and joins McPartlandfor a duet of "Bemsha Swing."
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.
