Piano Jazz for September 30, 2012
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: Singer, pianist and songwriter Blossom Dearie had one of the most distinctive voices in jazz. She combined swinging chops and her delicate, childlike voice to great effect on cleverly chosen tunes such as the humorous "I'm Shadowing You." On this program from 1985, Dearie performs her hits and joins McPartland for a piano duet of "Everything I've Got Is Yours"
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.
