Subscribe to theMore With Four: Jazz and String Quartets
Original Airdate: December 16th, 2006
In this program we explore historical recordings of jazz artists and ensembles with string quartets, ranging from Artie Shaw’s augmented orchestra of the late 1930s to Max Roach’s “double-quartet” of the 1980s. We’ll also hear music from saxophonist Lee Konitz (with arrangements by Bill Russo), vibraphonist Joe Roland (playing Miles Davis’ “Half Nelson”), pianist Andrew Hill, the Modern Jazz Quartet, and more. Jazz meets a classic classical format this week on “More With Four: Jazz and String Quartets.”
