'Invisible Piano' is a bold, expressive journey into John Beasley's creative world | New Day New Play

John Beasley is a boundary-pushing pianist, composer and arranger who began his career with Miles Davis and Freddie Hubbard. In addition to working with singers Dianne Reeves and Queen Latifah, John really shines brightest with a large palette, as he's shown with his MONK'estra, and reimagining the music of Return To Forever with The Frankfort Radio Big Band.

Invisible Piano is a bold, expressive journey into Beasley's creative world. Joined by the SWR Big Band of Stuttgart, Germany, it's an engaging program of appealing originals, alongside regaling re-tales of James Taylor's "Fire And Rain" and the Creative Source Classic, "Can't Hide Love".

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.
