Piano Jazz for September 23, 2012
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: Pianist, composer and arranger Jesse Green is an extraordinary musician with deep jazz roots. His father is trombonist Urbie Green and his mother, Kathy Preston, was a big band singer. Green comes by this legacy honestly, with an approach that is artful, skillful, and swinging. He performs his own tune, "My Miracle," before honoring his host with a version of McPartland's "Twilight World."
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.
