About Piano Jazz with Marian McPartland
Piano Jazz with Marian McPartland moves to 9PM on Fridays beginning Friday August 14. Read the announcement for more details.
For more than twenty years, legendary pianist Marian McPartland has welcomed a stellar line-up of jazz artists for conversation and improvisation. Piano Jazz fans say the show's intimate style is "like listening in on a conversation in someone's living room." And no one but McPartland, with her engaging personality and improvisational savvy, could host such a variety of performers in her radio living room.
Piano Jazz is a forum for jazz legends and influential performers as well as up-and-coming talents. Oscar Peterson, Herbie Hancock, Dave Brubeck, Diana Krall, Max Roach, Cassandra Wilson, and Tony Bennett are among the over 400 guests who have joined McPartland to create dynamic duets and discuss their lives and music.
The Washington Post calls Piano Jazz "an oasis of intelligence and grace and probably the best hour of jazz on the airwaves."
