“McPartland remains one of the most elegant pianists in jazz.”
—Chicago Tribune

With her signature lyricism and grace, and an ever-widening range of innovation, Marian McPartland has been the reigning queen of jazz piano for 60 years. Winner of a Downbeat Magazine Lifetime Achievement Award and journalism’s prestigious Peabody Award for her work as the gracious host of NPR’s Piano Jazz, she performs here accompanied by her band on bass and drums.
