Ken Dryden Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Dave Brubeck was the guest on the only videotaped edition of Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz. My wife and I attended the taping in Columbia, South Carolina and I reviewed it for All Music Guide after they finally got a copy of the video to me. Supposedly a maximum of 60 were made, though I'm sure numerous folks taped it when it was broadcast around the country (but not on our local PBS station). Here's the link: http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&t...10:shjgtq9zpu47 I can tell you that they had to redo "In Your Own Sweet Way" after the intermission, due to some unannounced technical problem. I'm afraid that I reproduced the error in posting by the Piano Jazz site for the last track from the Andrew Hill program. I agree that the song is "Always" by Irving Berlin; I'm not even sure that Stevie Wonder has ever published a tune under the title "I'll Be Loving You Always," though I hardly claim to be an expert about his work.

Guest Bill Barton Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Another hearty "thank you" for pulling up this thread and posting the link. When I was Music Director at WCFE-FM, Mountain-Lake Public Radio, in upstate NY my Saturday night show bookended Piano Jazz. It was always a treat to hear Marian McPartland interact with such a staggering variety of different stylists. The Andrew Hill show is one of my favorites.
