1:00 PM. Jazz Profiles

Nancy Wilson hosts this 18-part Peabody Award-winning series chronicling the people, places and events in jazz, with a focus on legends and musical themes
(18) Benny Carter
In a career that spanned eight decades, 1986 Jazz Master Benny Carter (1907-2003) became, by any standard, a jazz legend. Carter, Don Redman and Fletcher Henderson were the first to pioneer arrangements for the big band in jazz. Together with Charlie Parker and Johnny Hodges, he is regarded as one of the most influential alto saxophonists in jazz. Carter has also made his mark as a composer for numerous motion pictures and television shows. Interviewees include Carter, alto saxophonist Phil Woods, violinist Joe Kennedy Jr, drummer Kenny Washington and saxophonist-jazz historian Loren Schoenberg (NPR)
2:00 PM. Global Sounds

Indigenous music from around the world
Mariza
Transparente
Mariza is Mozambican-born but grew up in the Mouraria district of Lisbon, Portugal, and it was there that she first heard fado singers. She has established herself as the new face of Portuguese Fado, singing with a powerful blend of traditional and contemporary song forms which sometimes combines Brazilian rhythm, African sensuality and Portuguese folk
In her third CD, Transparente she brings new sonic surprises to the Fado tradition with an interplay of vocals and other instruments such as flute, cello, accordion as well as the Portuguese guitar (Times Square TSQ-CD-9047)
