Author Paul de Barros, a longtime contributor to Down Beat magazine, was given unprecedented access to McPartland's personal archive. He reads excerpts from 'Shall We Play That One Together? The Life and Art of Jazz Piano Legend Marian McPartland' at the National Jazz Museum in Harlem. After the reading, de Barros chats with pianist "Piano Jazz" guest host Jon Weber, who will play and talk about McPartland's approach to composing and improvising. Vocalist Karrin Allyson caps the program with performances of two Marian's tunes.
