Piano Jazz for August 19, 2012
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: Vocalist Melissa Walker is an exciting presence on the jazz scene, with impeccable phrasing, a soulful swing and a warm sensuous tone. She and McPartland spend a delightful hour talking about the jazz life and perform together on "The More I See You" and "It Could Happen to You"
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.
