All in Good Time
March 12,
I knew I was on my way to being a legit jazz fan when, after a few years of flipping past it, I started to appreciate Marian McPartland’s old Piano Jazz show on NPR. It took a while to get used to her voice, a stiff upper-lip quavering British accent, but then I recognized what her many talented guests knew coming in: she had the chops.
Over time, then, I came really to love the show. She’d have a fellow old-timer in to jam. They’d talk a little about the business or maybe get off an inside reference or two, but mostly they communicated through the music. McPartland has a crisp, generous tone, and it seemed to bring out good material from anyone who joined her. Like a good color analyst in a sporting event, she celebrated everyone she presented at the same time as she let drop just often enough that she could bring it herself.
When I saw this audiobook, I figured it would be a best-of piano jazz compilation, so I snatched it up. I liked the idea of list
