piano jazz WITH marian mcpartland Wednesday at 9 pm

9/3

Helen Merrill Helen Merrill’s voice is an instrument that sometimes carries the melody and sometimes complements the improvisational skills of her co-musicians. From 1995, McPartland performs a Portrait of Helen Merrill. Merrill joins McPartland to perform songs popularized by Billie Holiday, including Bob Haggart’s What’s New and Holiday’s Don’t Explain.

9/17 Bill Charlap and Renee Rosnes Husband and wife pianists Bill Charlap and Renee Rosnes join McPartland in this 2008 session, pushing the bounds of the Piano Jazz format to include three pianos in one room.

Charlap is one of the finest interpreters of American popular song and Rosnes is a modern jazz wizard. They join McPartland for a trio of You and the Night and the Music as well as I’ll Remember April.

9/24 Freddy Cole Pianist, composer, and vocalist Freddy Cole can take any song and bring out colors and nuances never heard before. As Nat King Cole’s younger brother, he has developed his own style to showcase his familial vocal talents. He brings this special ability to Sometimes I’m Happy.
