Tune in to "What I Like About Jazz" Wednesday night at 8:00 as jazz artists interpret the songs of Stephen Sondheim. Artists as wide ranging as Herbie Hancock, Eden Atwood, Holly Cole, Sarah Vaughan, Bill Mays and Kurt Elling show their chops.

We'll also showcase several cuts from the brand new ECM triple CD "Liaisons: Reimagining Sondheim from the Piano" by Tony De Mare. This recording features compositions by everyone from Wynton Marsalis and Fred Hersch, to Broadway composer Jason Robert Brown re-score the songs as compositions for solo piano.
