Marian McPartland Trio-A Delicate Balance ,Halcyon 105 LP ,1972

One More Post Celebrating the life and music of Marian McPartland!

This one goes out to the Boogie Man..

Some nice things here, including a great version of Freedom Jazz Dance, and a lovably cheesy 

rendition of the hoary old Easy listening /pseudo exotic chestnut 'El Condor Pasa'

McPartland plays Wurlitzer Electric Piano on a third of the selections!

Enjoy!!

Marian McPartland (RIP)- Interplay, Halcyon LP 100,1970

Here's a Nice M.McPartland lp , the few,non virtual friends i have who like Jazz dismiss this and her records in general as cocktail tinkling.. there's a lot more to it than that.
... and no to my ears she's no Bill Evans clone..
True this is a mellow affair compared to live at hickory house, and the bassist isn't as interesting or subtle as she...
According to discogs, this is from 1970, and can be purchased for as little as , 2 dollars, her stock is obviously lower than it should be!

Roll a fat one , mellow out  enjoy, and spare a thought for those around the world living in squalor , under the jackboots of oppressive governments, or living in War zones , who can barely feed themselves, let alone accumulate terabytes of music,unlike the majority of us living in a luxury predicated on the very squalor of those oppressed peoples.
