Marian McPartland is a Musical Treasure.......2007-02-20

This recording is a tour de force of solo piano playing. I often play Bill Evans, and Oscar Peterson, and Dave Brubeck, and Keith Jarrett, and Chick Corea, and so on down the list of great jazz pianists. Marian McPartland is not only right in there with these ebony tapping cats, she's up at the ivory top. There is a reason why Dave Brubeck called her one of the top three pianists of the 20th century, maybe like me he has never heard such swinging sonic beauty.

Inventive arrangements, brilliant technique.......2005-10-18

All of the pieces on this CD are available as note-for-note piano transcriptions, which I'm working through. Listening to McPartland play when you're familiar with the transcripts gives a fresh appreciation for her incredible technique and innovative arrangements. My favorite is her take on Ornette Coleman's "Turn Around," in which she magically turns a solo piano into an entire jazz trio.

Marian at her best.......2005-08-18

I love Marian McPartland ! This is my favorite McPartland CD. Interesting chord progressions and sensitive interpretations abound. I have listened to this CD over and over. It is still in my CD changer.

Marian Seems Happy.......2005-03-28

I think that Marian McPartland's music is usually full of joy, but never so much to me as on this album. This is not to say that she can't be solemn, as on a piece such as Willow Weep For Me, but when she plays such a piece, she sounds as if she is really enjoying what she's doing. And on the happier pieces, such as Love You Madly and It's You Or No One, she absolutely bubbles. Whether or not you agree with my joyful hypothesis, you will find a wide variety of songs to enjoy in this collection. McPartland's style sparkles throughout.

Marian McPartland is an amazing pianist.......2004-11-18

This is a beautiful CD. Only a pianist with Marian McPartland's experience of jazz piano styles and delicate ear could produce an album this divine. Marian is able to draw on such a wide variety of harmonic styles that she can make everyday tunes like My Funny Valentine and Willow Weep for Me sound like you're hearing them for the first time. Also, the recording quality of this live performance is excellent. A great CD that I have listened to over and over again.
