For over 30 years, radio audiences around the world tuned in to hear her \"Piano Jazz,\" the pioneering interview-plus-jam-session show she created and hosted on syndicated radio. Her warmth, selflessness, skill, and passion for the music was apparent to every listener, and over the years, she played an important role in exposing the world to jazz and advocating for musicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut Marian's career really took off about 30 years before \"Piano Jazz.\" In February 1952, she began a long tenure playing piano at The Hickory House, a midtown New York restaurant famous for its wood-fired meals and its oblong wraparound seating (with the musicians and bartenders in the middle!). And over the next year, a few personnel changes brought Bill Crow and Joe Morello into the fold, thereby coalescing the trio's sound and establishing a working band that would continue until Dave Brubeck hired Morello away in 1956!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gentle sounds of Marian's modern piano approach at the Hickory House — light, graceful, and sophisticated, with sensitive support from Crow and Morello — might evoke other pianists of the era (at turns, her playing could remind one of Ahmad Jamal, Billy Taylor, Oscar Peterson, Billy Strayhorn, Dorothy Donegan, Hazel Scott, Lennie Tristano, Don Shirley, Mary Lou Williams, George Shearing, Teddy Wilson, Bill Evans, and others). But despite this somewhat chameleonic quality, she was truly a brilliant pianist all her own, with an original musical voice and a commanding touch that combined virtuosic runs, surprising harmonizations, complex voicings, and driving swing. The recordings of the Hickory House trio prove what listeners would come to recognize later over the 30 years of \"Piano Jazz\" shows — Marian McPartland could really \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eplay\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeticulously derived from contemporaneous menus, handbills, and other ephemera for the Hickory House and other venues, this fun poster — featuring the famous Hickory House logo, a classic portrait of Marian, cute log illustrations, and the iconic \"From Ten Thirty Until Scrambled Eggs\" line! — has been a frequent request by our customers and comes in three color variants to match your décor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Marian_McPartland\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Marian_McPartland\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehttps:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Marian_McPartland\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Marian_McPartland_at_the_Hickory_House\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Marian_McPartland_at_the_Hickory_House\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehttps:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Marian_McPartland_at_the_Hickory_House\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Piano_Jazz\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Piano_Jazz\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehttps:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Piano_Jazz\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SecondTakeJazzArt","offers":[{"title":"11\" x 17\"","offer_id":56766783946918,"sku":"130316135401_11x17","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12\" x 16\"","offer_id":56766783979686,"sku":"130316135401_12x16","price":30.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12\" x 18\"","offer_id":56766784012454,"sku":"130316135401_12x18","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16\" x 24\"","offer_id":56766784045222,"sku":"130316135401_16x24","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18\" x 24\"","offer_id":56766784077990,"sku":"130316135401_18x24","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18\" x 27\"","offer_id":56766784110758,"sku":"130316135401_18x27","price":47.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20\" x 30\"","offer_id":56766784143526,"sku":"130316135401_20x30","price":57.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24\" x 36\"","offer_id":56766784176294,"sku":"130316135401_24x36","price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/4410\/6918\/files\/McPartland_Marian-AttheHickoryHouse-1954_18x24_v01-mockupA-1x1-BROWN.jpg?v=1783627248","url":"https:\/\/secondtakejazzart.com\/products\/marian-mcpartland-jazz-poster-at-the-hickory-house-1954-brown-variant","provider":"SecondTakeJazzArt","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
