5.0 out of 5 stars
Mainstream solo piano at its best,
By A Customer
This review is from: Live at Maybeck 9 (Audio CD)
Few pianists would attempt to play a program that includes compositions by Duke Ellington, Ornette Coleman, Alec Wilder and Dave Brubeck. But Marian manages to pull it off in her own voice and with her own sense of elegance. The program of 16 tunes ebbs and flows perfectly, giving one a sense that Marian knows exactly how to pace her concerts. Duke Ellington's "The Clothed Woman" and "Theme from 'Piano Jazz'" (which gets its first extended treatment) show her openness to freer styles, while her own "Twilight World" and Wilder's "I'll Be Around" display a sensitive touch as well. Marian also displays her affection for more conventional Ellingtonia: "Prelude to a Kiss," Dave Brubeck's "The Duke," "Love You Madly" and "Things Ain't What They Used To Be." In short, this is as eclectic an exercise in mainstream solo piano as one is likely to hear. The sound is excellent, as it is consistently in Concord's Maybeck series.

Versatile Virtuosity!,

This review is from: Live at Maybeck 9 (Audio CD)
Being a huge fan of Marian McPartland, I admit that I am biased, but this CD is one of her finest achievements. Everything about it, from the wide-ranging choice of materials, to the sterling performances, the beauty of the piano used and the warm, resonant natural ambiance of the Maybeck Recital Hall add up to a recording I would recommend to anyone without hesitation. I have just been on a long road trip, and this CD was playing over and over in the car. Never got tired of it! Buy it!

Distracting clapping,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Live at Maybeck 9 (Audio CD)
I hate to ruin the 5 star average for this wonderful CD, but I had a hard time getting past the *loud* clapping after each song and before the first (a total of 17 times!). Apparently the mikes were way too close to the audience, giving the CD listener a real jolt between those beautiful pieces, some of them played quite softly.
