Piano Jazz

Piano Jazz is a one hour radio show produced and distributed by National Public Radio. It started in 1978 and has always been hosted by Marian McPartland. It is the longest running cultural program on NPR. The show features a single guest pianist, and usually consists of about an equal mixture of discussion and playing, often duets with Marian. The show provides an inside look at the relationships of jazz musicians, since Marian has often had long friendships with many of her guests. A few examples of guests are Cy Coleman, Henry Mancini, and Percy Faith.
