Piano Jazz for July 22, 2012
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: Piano Jazz presents a very special program featuring one of the most imaginative and original performers of our time, the incomparable pianist Keith Jarrett. Jarrett's playing is a combination of unbelievable beauty, technical genius and mesmerizing improvisation. As ellusive as he is brilliant, Jarrett has been on McPartland's guest wish list for years. Jarrett and McPartland perform a mostly improvised set before closing on Herbie Hancock's "Indian Summer."
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.
