      This is an audio treasure, whether you're a current fan of this beloved jazz pianist and her long-running public radio program or you're new to her work. It's clear that it's been a joyful life as McPartland reads essays and remembrances over the decades--her joie de vivre and true immersion in jazz and its great artists come through loud and clear. Her soft London-influenced voice has made a friendly truce with an American accent--the overall effect is like being invited to tea or bourbon with a savvy, kind, and talented lady of the arts. The bonus CD with excerpts of McPartland's interviews with such jazz greats as Bill Evans and Oscar Peterson is the topper. D.J.B. (c) AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine
