Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

This 2-CD set comes from Marian McPartlands 85th Birthday celebration held on March 23, 2003 at New Yorks Birdland, an event that also marked the 25th anniversary of her NPR show Piano Jazz. McPartland has been an enthusiastic champion of jazz as well as a superb pianist, and the high esteem in which shes held shows through in the guest list. Theres a brilliant sextet with Phil Woods and Dave Douglas, while Regina Carter and Jim Hall together generate all the momentum of the swing era. Norah Jones and Karin Allyson are among the singers who join McPartland for ballads and buoyant up-tempos, while the trumpeters include Clark Terry, Jon Faddis and Roy Hargrove. The piano, though, gets special attention. In the enduring spirit of Piano Jazz, McPartland duets with Billy Taylor and impresario George Wein from her own generation and takes an exploratory approach to "Summertime" with the young Jason Moran. Bill Charlap adding a compelling solo medley. A fitting tribute to McPartland, this set celebrates both the breadth and depth of the current jazz mainstream. --Stuart Broomer

A variety of great talent

Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2006

What a fine album, plenty of guest stars here but it is McPartland's steady, graceful, and understated piano playing which is the backbone of this album.

Many live albums suffer from bad production, this one doesn't. It captures the live feel, without overdoing the applause.

Marian's duet with Norah Jones on "The Nearness of You" might be worth the entire price of this album. It is spine-tingling good and makes one wonder why Jones is singing that average poppy music instead of venturing more into traditional jazz. She aces this tune in a big way.

The rest of it is great, too. Lots of fun, makes one wish they were at this grand celebration to honor a jazz master.

One of my favorite things of the past several years has been listening to Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz series every Sunday on NPR. Her collaboration with other Jazz artists is always interesting and fun to listen to. This album continues that collaboration, with many artists and many memorable tunes. If you like Jazz piano, this is a must for your collection.

This is one of my favorite albums. The mood and feeling of everything is so positive, respectful, and loving. Performances range from superb to amazing. I am especially fond of Norah Jones singing for her piano teacher, Marian McPartland, covering the nearness of you.

Trumpet Triumvirate: Passing the Torch

Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2005

Verified Purchase

As might be expected, this is a quite uneven collection, capturing the festive occasion that was Marian's 85th birthday party. There are no truly "low" points but a few that are inessential. Norah Jones reprises Hoagy Carmichael's "The Nearness of You," the single standard from her gold record "Come Away with Me" (Karrin Allyson, despite having vocal difficulties on this date, proves more engaging with her reading of Marian's "Twilight World"). Both Marian and the great (always underrated) Billy Taylor have some memory lapses and moments of indecision but cover well (nevertheless, pianist Bill Charlap proves to be critical to the evening's musical success).

Phil Woods is predictably masterful on each of his turns, especially on Harold Arlen's "Last Night When We Were Young." Tenor saxophonists Ravi Coltrane and Loren Schoenberg contribute effective solos, though the standout is Chris Potter, who combines the motivic development of a Sonny Rollins with the smooth, assured virtuosity of a Sonny Stitt (I doubt he could be upstaged by any current tenor player--Branford, Josh, Lovano, Brecker, Liebman, Alexander, etc.).

The most revelatory moments of the event come with the contributions of the trumpet stars, each providing a distinctive approach reflecting the influence of a different predecessor. Dave Douglas is clearly the musical child of Miles Davis, capturing the tone quality, extrovertish sound, adventurous note choices, and bi-tonal scales that characterized Miles' playing 1960-1967; Roy Hargrove is the direct heir of Clifford Brown's inspired lyricism and unforced drama; Jon Faddis goes for the stratosphere, conjuring up the spirit of mentor Dizzy Gillespie during the late forties and early fifties, when Diz was at his pyrotechnical best. Finally, Clark Terry is still Clark Terry, sounding almost as proficient on this occasion as he does on the 1969 White House 70th birthday party for Duke Ellington (Jim Hall and Billy Taylor were also musical guests at both celebrations).

There may have been 85 candles present, but together they produced a vital flame, a torch one can only be too happy to see passed on.

Great tribute to Ms. McPartland. The music swings and we find ourselves swinging along. My wife is not into jazz as much as I am, but she really likes this CD.

More feeling than technique

Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2014

If you want a note perfect jazz performance look elsewhere. If you want a show with real heart, featuring an 85 year old jazz veteran who could still cut it - this is for you. She may not be note perfect, but it's a warm engaging show. Guests like Norah Jones and Curt Stigers just add to it. Worth looking into if you are in doubt.

Marian McPartland & Friends: 85 Candles.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 3, 2022

Verified Purchase

As the album title states, this is a double CD set recorded live at Birdland celebrating the pianist's 85th birthday in 2003 and featuring a multitude of star performers; as a result, the personnel varies from track to track with McPartland on many of them, but not all.
There's quite a mix of instrumentalists and some vocalists, so there's a good deal of variety with something for everyone; my personal preference is for the straight-ahead instrumental jazz, but it's perhaps unfair to be too critical of it all given the context; I can't stand Curtis Stigers, but mercifully, he's only on one track.
An enjoyable double; the CDs have playing times of 61.16 minutes and 63.41.

Geburtstagsständchen

Reviewed in Germany on May 2, 2010

Verified Purchase

Am 31. März 2003 fand im New Yorker Birdland eine Geburtstagsfeier der besonderen Art statt. Die Grande Old Dame des Jazzpiano, Marian McPartland, war 85 geworden, und es wurde eine große Feier mit jeder Menge Gast-Stars. Auch mußte sie selbst mehr als einmal auf die Bühne und mitspielen. Eingerahmt von einem Sextet, in dem u.a. Phil Woods und Ravi Coltrane spielten, liest sich die Gästeliste wie ein Who's Who im Jazz: Roy Hargrove (ein schönes Duett mit Marian über "My Foolish Hear"), Curtis Stigers, Jon Faddis und Billy Taylor (ebenfalls ein Duett über "Memories of You"), Marian McPartland im Trio ("Yesterdays"), Jackie Cain, Jackie King, Billy Taylor und Marian, Nnenna Freelon, Bill Charlap, Norah Jones, Chris Potter, Karrin Allyson, Regina Carter & Jim Hall, Barbara Carroll, George Wein, Jason Moran.

Feines Geburtstagsständchen.
