Piano Jazz for May 13, 2012
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: Daryl Sherman: Remembering Johnny Mercer Pianist/Singer
Daryl Sherman brings her sophisticated swing and witty charm to this celebration of songwriter and lyricist Johnny Mercer. Sherman performs "Too Marvelous for Words" and "Jeepers Creepers," and McPartland joins in on one of her favorite Mercer ballads, the beautiful "Skylark"
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.
