Bill Charlap, one of the premiere pianists of his generation, joins us today for a very special episode of JAZZIZ Travel. Late last year, Charlap released his new record with his acclaimed trio, featuring Peter Washington on bass and Kenny Washington on drums. Street of Dreams is a reflection of the literal and metaphorical road traveled together, during the nearly 25 years since the trio’s formation. It’s also a loving tribute to Charlap’s very own New York City and marks the pianist’s return to Blue Note Records. We talk about this album and more, including the great composer Leonard Bernstein, whose musical theatre legacy Charlap will be celebrating at a special event at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center on June 17, and the upcoming edition of Jazz in July, which is under his artistic director, and that will run over the course of four nights during the last two weeks of July at New York’s 92Y.
