In a world dominated by men, Marian McPartland distinguished herself as one of the greatest jazz pianists of her ageBorn in the UK as Margaret Marian Turner, Marian McPartland learned to play classical piano, but was passionately attracted to the rhythms of American jazz. Entertaining troops in WWII Europe, she met her future husband, Jimmy McPartland, a cocky young trumpet player who was the protege of the great Bix Beiderbecke. They were married and, together, they made jazz history. At first, Marian played second fiddle to Jimmy in Chicago, but when they moved to New York, Marian and her trio took up residence at the famous Hickory House where she thrilled the crowds from her perch on a stage in the middle of large oval bar. From there she went on to triumphs at places like the Montreaux Jazz Festival. Possibly, her greatest accomplishment was the creation of NPRs longrunning show Piano Jazz.More than the life story of one of our greatest artists, Shall We Play That One Together? by Paul de Barros chronicles an age when jazz was a vital art form. Just as inviting as Marians signature question on Piano Jazz, Shall We Play That One Together? is an invitation to readers everywhere to listen to the score of a bygone age.

The content of the book is wonderful and really brings Marian's passion for piano to life. However, it took longer to arrive than I expected. Not a huge deal since the book itself is great, but the wait was a little frustrating.

A Beautiful Tribute to McPartland
This book really captures the essence of Marian McPartland's life and artistry. The anecdotes and insights into her career as a jazz piano legend are just fantastic. I bought it for my dad, and he hasn’t put it down!

Inspiring but Lacks Depth at Times
I enjoyed reading about McPartland's journey, but I was hoping for more in-depth interviews or insights into her music. It’s a good read for jazz enthusiasts, just not as comprehensive as I expected. Still worth checking out!

Torn Pages in My Copy
I was excited to read about Marian McPartland, but my copy arrived with a few torn pages. Very disappointing! It's a shame because the stories are interesting, but I can’t fully enjoy it in that condition.
