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.

Princeton Symphony Concert Tonight

In just a few minutes, I’ll be joined by Marc Uys, executive director of the Princeton Symphony Orchestra, who will drop by the studio around 9:00 to tell us about a special concert that will take place at Princeton University’s Richardson Auditorium tonight at 8 p.m.

Violinist Daniel Rowland will be soloist in and conductor of 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). Then we’ll hear Piazzolla himself performing some of his own music on the bandoneon.

Also yet to come this morning, Benny Goodman plays Bartok and Keith Jarrett plays Barber, with an early work by famed film composer John Williams written for Stan Kenton, “Prelude and Fugue,” coming up in just a few minutes.

It’s classical music played by jazz artists, with perhaps just a hint of “Third Stream,” until 11 EDT, on WPRB 103.3 FM at wprb.com.
