Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz from 2003: Birthday memories

My birthday is coming up on March 20. It's a date that I share with other piano luminaries including Harold Mabern, Larry Harlow, and Marian McPartland. In 2003, I recorded a Piano Jazz episode with Marian that occurred just days before our shared birthdate. I remember walking into the studio while Marian was on the phone with Peter Jennings. I'd been sending Marian a yearly birthday card for years, and this show taping was like a big birthday present!Many of you have asked where you can hear that 2003 Piano Jazz episode. For a limited time, I'll be sharing the links of the individual tracks below. So, enjoy my birthday present, and post your comments!Track 1: Marian and Deanna chatTrack 2: Deanna: Wide Open WindowTrack 3: Chat and lead in to A Wonderful GuyTrack 4: Deanna: A Wonderful GuyTrack 5: Chat and lead in to Lullaby of the LeavesTrack 6: Duet: Lullaby of the LeavesTrack 7: Chat: Alec WilderTrack 8: Marian: Where are All the Good Companions?Track 9: Chat and lead in to The Shadow of Your SmileTrack 10: Duet: The Shadow of Your SmileTrack 11: Chat and lead in to I'll Take RomanceTrack 12: Duet: I'll Take RomanceTrack 13: Chat: background on Stranger in a DreamTrack 14: Marian: Stranger in a DreamTrack 15: Chat and lead in to The Song is YouTrack 16: Duet: The Song is YouTrack 17: Closing thank yous
