Marian McPartland • Twilight World

 



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 presentar su programa de radio Piano Jazz a partir de 1978, pero ya era una pianista muy respetada desde hacía décadas. Tocó en un vodevil con 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 trasladó con su marido a Estados Unidos en 1946, donde a veces tocaba con él, aunque su estilo era más moderno que el de sus grupos orientados al Dixieland. McPartland llegó a tener su propio trío en el Embers (1950) y en el Hickory House (1952-1960), que hasta 1957 incluía al batería Joe Morello. Grabó regularmente para Savoy y Capitol durante la década de 1950 y también realizó sesiones para Argo (1958), Time (1960 y 1963), Sesac y Dot. Aunque acabó divorciándose de Jimmy, siguieron siendo muy amigos, a veces tocaban juntos, e incluso se volvieron a casar pocas semanas antes de su muerte. Formó su propio sello Halcyon y grabó varios buenos álbumes entre 1969 y 1977. McPartland también grabó tres álbumes para el sello Improv de Tony Bennett durante 1976-1977 antes de firmar con Concord, donde permaneció después de 1978.
