Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz album for sale Product Description

Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz album for sale by Carmen McRae was released Aug 27, 2002 on the Jazz Alliance label. Carmen McRae was a guest on Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz in 1985 and ended up being one of the most memorable singers to appear on the series. While she was known to have a been a better-than-average pianist, she rarely recorded accompanying herself, though McPartland, an old friend, succeeded in encouraging her to sing and play solo on several numbers, including infrequently heard ballads such as Teddy Wilson's "It's the Little Things Which Mean a Lot," Irene Kitchings' (Teddy Wilson's first wife) "I'm Pulling Through," and Duke Ellington's "I Never Felt This Way Before." McRae explains to McPartland how hard it is to play piano and sing simultaneously following her solo take of "I Hadn't Anyone 'Til You" and jokes during the song, "I wonder why I picked this song?," adding the humorous closing tag line, "I'm gonna get out of this real quick." The two piano duets, "As Time Goes By" and the improvised "Carmen's Blues," are a little bit tentative simply because McRae was not used to playing piano with a partner, but the two musicians clearly enjoy themselves so it doesn't distract from either track. Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz CD music contains a single disc with 23 songs. ...See Full Description
