Dr. Billy Taylor - On Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz (2007)


Billy Taylor made jazz education a central part of his life. Early on, he began publishing instructional books on jazz, and earned a Ph.D in music education from the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. In his lifetime, Taylor received 23 honorary doctorates for his work as a jazz educator and ambassador. On this episode of Piano Jazz, recorded in front of an audience at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Taylor performs a set of mostly original tunes, including "In Loving Memory" and "If You Really Are Concerned." Host Marian McPartland performs her "Portrait of Billy Taylor," and joins him for duets on the standards Lullaby in Rhythm and These Foolish Things. Originally recorded March 4, 2007.
