English,85 & still plays a great J*** piano
Posted by: Geoff P on 22 October 2005
For those folks who like their Jazz improvisational but "quieter" than Coltrane & Bird check out:
Marion McPartland & Friends : 85 Candles
A 2CD set in which McPartland's 85 birthday is celebrated by numerous excellent Jazz artists and shows this English Grande Dame of Jazz piano can still really play.
Incidentally it includes a rendition of "The nearness of you" from Norah Jones which rather than off putting is worth buying it for. She is sensationally good on this track.
