	Untitled Document
		Marian McPartland is a legend among pianists, celebrated for her contributions to the world of jazz.
		Upon hearing Marian at the piano, one quickly becomes aware of her impeccable technique and her uniquely salient harmonic sense (which may take the form of an ethereal ballad or a hard-swinging bop standard.) Her charm, humor, and charisma is evident in everything she plays--especially her own compositions.
		Marian's style of playing never fails to convey a sense of warmth and intimacy to her audience.

	MARIAN MCPARTLAND BIO
		When considering the long and storied career of Marian McPartland it soon becomes apparent that the remarkable breadth and manner of her accomplishments are, in all likelihood, unmatched in the history of jazz.
		From 1952 to 1960 Marian McPartland led a trio at the Hickory House, a restaurant-cum-nightclub on Manhattanâs legendary 52nd Street, and it was there that the pianist grew in stature among her peers and legions of jazz fans, the casual and cognoscenti alike.
		Marian was honored in October by the nationâs premiere jazz radio station, Newark, NJâs WBGO, at their 25th Anniversary Gala as recipient of their first annual Jazz Achievement Awards, alongside long-time friends and fellow pianists Dave Brubeck and Dr. Billy Taylor.

		Understandably, Marian has some specific memories of the noises that "intermingled" with the music, as she says: the owner arguing with his press agent, the headwaiter shouting instructions to his troops, John Popkin behind the bar, ringing up bills in the midst of quiet ballads.
		Marian recently told an interviewer that she was trying to write an essay about Jimmy and that it was very difficult.
		McPartland and Wilder met for the first time in 1960 when he sat at the Hickory House bar, pipe in one hand, books in the other, dressed in what she calls "his uniform" (worn tweed jacket, gray slacks and loafers), listening intently.

	Marian McPartland : Piano Jazz: McPartland/Medeski - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect

	May 2006 \| Jazz Great Marian McPartland Grooving in Her Twilight World
		McPartland selected Williams as the honored guest of the premiere show of Piano Jazz, though she concedes that Williams made it clear that she thought the gig as host should have been given to her, not McPartland.

		I'm a big fan of Marian McPartland- both her show, and her playing- and perhaps a bigger fan of Steely Dan, so when I saw this album it was of course a must-buy.
		McPartland and the Dans may not always mesh perfectly- McPartland isn't an R&B player, and Fagen isn't her equal as a jazz player- but all three share a common love of Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong and other greats, and there's a great deal of shared respect and enthusiasm here.
		McPartland's slow meandering interviewing style is tedious and annoying, and at times cringe-worthy - for instance when she refers to "Gaslighting Annie" instead of "Gaslighting Abby".

		Marian McPartland-the grand dame of jazz piano-is part of that very elite group.
		As part of the old vanguard of traditional jazz, McPartland treats her guests with a genuine respect and informed appreciation, not like if Sinatra was interviewing the Beatles; Fagen's and Becker's comments are quite illuminating and a little sardonic.
		The aforementioned CD shows McPartland has not lost any of her mental faculties and definitely not her musical ones.
