Marian McPartland's Jazz World: All in Good Time
|
| | | Annotation:
Pianist and broadcaster Marian McPartland's collection of essays on a selected few of her fellow jazz musicians, many of whom have been guests on her NPR show PIANO JAZZ, is an insightful and sympathetic look at performers representing a wide range of jazz styles, from the British comedian and pianist Dudley Moore to the legendary band leader Benny Goodman. McPartland brings the same coaxing, empathetic manner to these brief biographies that she has used to such good effect on her long-running radio show, with insightful analyses of each musician's technique and contribution to the jazz world, along with recollections and stories from her subjects themselves. For this updated edition of her original volume ALL IN GOOD TIME, she also includes some of her own reminiscences from her eight-year 1950s residency at New York's Hickory House jazz club, and her pioneering Esquire essay "You've Come a Long Way, Baby," in which she chronicles the influence of female musicians like Lil Hardin Armstrong and Mary Lou Williams on jazz.
