The Music Of Marian McPartland On Piano

Jazz

Of all Marian McPartland's attributes, possibly the most underrated was her
ability as a composer. Her piano pieces have entered the jazz repertoire, while
some of her songs — with lyrics by such stars as Johnny Mercer, Sammy Cahn and
Peggy Lee — have become part of The Great American Songbook.

In honor of McPartland's birthday this week — she would have been 98 — guest
host Murray Horwitz leads this expedition through some of her most beautiful
works, with performances by Cleo Laine, Sarah Vaughan, the Thad Jones-Mel
Lewis Orchestra and McPartland herself.

Originally broadcast in the fall of 2011.
