Past Events "Shall we play that one together?" How often have you heard Marian McPartland say that to the many illustrious guests who have appeared over the years on her National Public Radio show, Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz? McPartland's familiar invitation is the title of the first-ever biography of McPartland, due from St. Martin's Press Oct. 16, 2012. Author Paul de Barros, a longtime contributor to Down Beat magazine, was given unprecedented access to McPartland's personal archive. He reads excerpts from Shall We Play That One Together? The Life and Art of Jazz Piano Legend Marian McPartland at the National Jazz Museum in Harlem at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, October 25. After the reading, de Barros chats with pianist "Piano Jazz" guest host Jon Weber, who will play and talk about McPartland's approach to composing and improvising. Vocalist Karrin Allyson caps the program with performances of two Marian's tunes.
