Piano Jazz for August 26, 2012
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: Saxophonist/band leader Paul Winter has created his own brand of environmentally conscious music. The natural world serves as an inspiration and at times a collaborator in his music. Winter talks about performing with humpback whales and his legendary recording expeditions to the Grand Canyon. With his pianist Paul Sullivan, Winter performs his tune, "Sun Singer," before joining McPartland for "Summertime."
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.
