As the saying goes: “It’s the most wonderful time of the year!”
During our Season of Giving Fund Drive, our listeners are joining in celebrating another fantastic year of programming at WBGO.
They also played a couple of pieces from Dear Erich — Ted’s jazz opera, based on letters from his grandfather to his father during Nazi Germany — and a Beethoven-meets-bebop selection from The Three B’s, a solo piano album originally released in 2002.
All told, it was an engaging hour with three top musicians fully in the moment — and a preview of this coming Monday’s WBGO Night at Dizzy’s Club, hosted by our own Nicole Sweeney, spreading the seasonal cheer live on stage.
Here is the trio in our studio performing “Santa Claus is Coming to Town.”
