Jazz Meets Classics on WPRB

Woody Herman plays Stravinsky. Benny Goodman plays Bartók. Wynton Marsalis plays Jolivet. Arturo Sandoval plays Arutiunian. Keith Jarrett plays Barber. Jazz artists perform the classics this morning on WPRB, with a few examples of “Third Stream” (Gunther Schuller’s term for a synthesis of classical and jazz) tossed in for good measure.

As an added bonus, Marc Uys, executive director of the Princeton Symphony Orchestra, will stop by around 9:00 to talk about a special concert being held tonight at 8 p.m. at Princeton University’s Richardson Auditorium. Violinist Daniel Rowland will appear as soloist and conductor in Astor Piazzolla’s “The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires,” which will be interleaved with the concertos of Vivaldi’s “The Four Seasons.” Rowland has performed the program many times and has even made a very fine recording of it (from which we will sample).

Otherwise, hepcats put on the dog this morning, as jazz artists perform the classics, from 6 to 11 EDT, on WPRB 103.3 FM and at wprb.com. We’re having ourselves a classical clambake, on Classic Ross Amico.
