Bill Charlap Trio's album 'And Then Again' featured on WBGO's New Day New Play Oct 7-12

Bill Charlap Trio "And Then Again'
C/O of the Artist
Bill Charlap Trio "And Then Again' from Blue Note Records

After almost three decades and 20 albums, pianist Bill Charlap, bassist Peter Washington and drummer Kenny Washington represent one of the GREAT working groups of our day. With "And Then Again," this marvelous threesome returns to their live home, The Village Vanguard, showcasing that extrasensory communication and razor-sharp, on-the-fly decision-making that makes for pure joy and amazement when listening. Listen, as they put their touch on works of Kenny Barron, Kern & Hammerstein, Brubeck, Gershwin and more in pure delight of just what 3 individual talents can do. Decades of significant exchanges is something that cannot be manufactured. It's an honesty that's a pure treat to take in.

In jazz radio, great announcers are distinguished by their ability to convey the spontaneity and passion of the music. Gary Walker is such an announcer, and his enthusiasm for this music greets WBGO listeners every morning on Daybreak. He's the winner of the 1996 Gavin Magazine Jazz Radio Personality of the Year Award and the recipient of the 2021 Marian McPartland-Willis Conover Award for Career Achievement in Broadcasting from the Jazz Journalists Association. Gary hosts the morning show each weekday from 8am til noon. And, by his own admission, he's truly having a great time.
