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.
