Marian McPartland • Sweet and Lovely

 

Biography by Scott Yanow
Marian McPartland became famous for hosting her Piano Jazz radio program beginning in 1978, but she was a well-respected pianist decades before. She played in a four-piano vaudeville act in England and performed on the European continent for the troops during World War II. In Belgium in 1944, she met cornetist Jimmy McPartland and they soon married. Marian moved with her husband to the United States in 1946, where she sometimes played with him even though her style was more modern than his Dixieland-oriented groups. McPartland eventually had her own trio at the Embers (1950) and the Hickory House (1952-1960), which until 1957 included drummer Joe Morello. She recorded regularly for Savoy and Capitol during the 1950s and also made sessions for Argo (1958), Time (1960 and 1963), Sesac, and Dot. Although eventually divorced from Jimmy, they remained close friends, sometimes played together, and even remarried just weeks before his death. She formed her own Halcyon label and recorded several fine albums between 1969-1977. McPartland also made three albums for Tony Bennett's Improv label during 1976-1977 before signing with Concord, where she remained after 1978. The Jazz Alliance label has made available over 30 CDs' worth of material from Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz show, some of which are quite fascinating and significant. McPartland died in August 2013 at her home in Port Washington, New York; she was 95 years old.

Biografía de Scott Yanow
Marian McPartland se hizo famosa por ser la anfitriona de su programa de radio Piano Jazz a partir de 1978, pero era una pianista muy respetada décadas antes. Tocó en un acto de vodevil de cuatro pianos en Inglaterra y actuó en el continente europeo para las tropas durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. En Bélgica, en 1944, conoció al cornetista Jimmy McPartland y pronto se casaron. Marian se mudó con su marido a los Estados Unidos en 1946, donde a veces tocaba con él aunque su estilo era más moderno que el de sus grupos de orientación dixieliana. McPartland llegó a tener su propio trío en el Embers (1950) y en el Hickory House (1952-1960), que hasta 1957 incluía al baterista Joe Morello.
