Marian McPartland: On 52nd Street
by AAJ Staff
Re-release by re-release, Savoy Jazz is revealing for jazz enthusiasts the richness of its library, built with an iron fist but with perspicacity, by owner Herman Lubinsky. The latest re-issue to astound listeners with head-scratching wonder (I wonder why this wasn't available before) is a documentation of some of Marian McPartland's earliest popular recordings, which led ...

Marian McPartland: Reprise
by Jim Santella
The reunion of Marian McPartland’s Hickory House Trio on a September weekend in 1998 was recorded live at Birdland.

Marian McPartland: Just Friends

One of the nicer things about reviewing a new release by Marian McPartland is that one needn't prattle on about what a marvelous pianist she is - everyone knows that - and can move on to other fundamentals such as her choice of playing partners and the music itself, both of which are, in this case, ...
Marian McPartland: Just Friends
by Robert Spencer
Marian McPartland is a magnificent institution, and this is a magnificent musical distillation of what she does best on her celebrated “Piano Jazz" series. There's none of the fascinating conversation, but the duets are here: two each with Tommy Flanagan, Renee Rosnes, George Shearing, Geri Allen, Dave Brubeck, and Gene Harris. McPartland rounds out the disc ...
Marian McPartland With Strings: Silent Pool
by Douglas Payne
Simply gorgeous. This beautiful, if not altogether outstanding, piano trio-and-orchestra recording is a natural for the romantic pianist Marian McPartland. Heroes like Bill Evans, George Shearing, Nat King Cole and Ahmad Jamal have all recorded with similar success in these situations – and many probably already know the mastery of Dave Grusin and Lalo Schifrin in ...
