Pete Jolly on Piano Jazz

- News Stations: Sat, Nov 8, 8 pm | News Stations: Sun, Nov 9, 7 pm - 

A vital force on the West Coast Jazz scene, Pete Jolly (June 5, 1932 – November 6, 2004) was a pianist and accordionist known for his movie soundtracks and television themes, including Get Smart, Dallas, and M*A*S*H. On this Piano Jazz from 1986, Jolly demonstrates his swinging piano style with a solo on “You, the Night and the Music,” then McPartland joins in on “Barbados.” McPartland solos on “Close Enough for Love,” and the two performers create a rousing finale with a two-person version of “Oleo.”

Alfred Turner is a familiar voice to many listeners, having hosted past programs such as The Morning Concert, Standard Time and various specials. He was also South Carolina Public Radio’s webmaster for many years, and producer for Walter Edgar's Journal and South Carolina from A to Z.
