In a Mist McPartland Marian 1974[thanks to boberwig on dailymotion] Pianist Marian McPartland plays a tune composed by Bix Beiderbecke. He recorded "In the Mist" in 1927.Margaret Marian Turner was born in England on March 21, 1918 near Slough, Buckinghamshire. As a child, young Marian Turner approached the piano around the age of three. While gaining proficiency on her own, she often provided musical entertainment at family gatherings. Her parents, however, enrolled Marian in violin lessons. Marian's enrollment in a boarding school ended her doomed attempt at playing the violin, and she eventually ended up at the famous London Guildhall School of Music where she studied piano and composition.Marian was introduced to jazz by a boyfriend who often brought jazz records to her house. For hours they would listen to the music of Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington, Fats Waller, and others. From that point on, Marian was hooked on jazz. In 1943, Marian began playing in USO camp shows in Belgium and France, where she met a Chicago cornetist named Jimmy McPartland, a Bix Beiderbeck protege. In 1952, Marian's trio began what was to become a long-running gig at New York's Hickory House, where many legendary musicians to whom Marian had once listened often sat in the audience listening to Marian.In 1978, Marian began hosting her own radio program for National Public Radio and South Carolina Educational Radio: Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz. Marian's most recently released CD on the Concord Jazz label is Just Friends, featuring jazz greats-- Tommy Flanagan, Renee Rosnes, George Shearing, Geri Allen, Dave Brubeck, and Gene Harris--playing duets with Marian. Additionally, a CD titled Portraits was released on the NPR label in the summer of 1999. This CD, as suggested by the title, is a compendium of Marian's musical portraits of several guests on Piano Jazz.

according to accounts even bix couldn't play it the same way twice.

what's the point of music if you can't play it the way you want to. if you like the original sound... there's a million people out there that have recorded it that way. go buy that album. why criticize an interpretation. everyone hears a song differently, she might be playing it the way she felt when she heard it. who knows... and that's why music is beautiful,.. just like marian. :)

GozTheGreat, I think she's simply playing, quite literally, in a mist. Nothing sounds mistier to me than the whole tone scale. I'm not speaking to its effectiveness--I think it's a tad inappropriate for the rest of the interpretation--but it's a lovely idea to say the least.

Obviously, you're one to designate what is strange and what isn't

Great. Really beautifull. Strangly, she adds an intro (with "whole tones scale" tricks) then she plays the original score with a "rubato" approach (when I play this tune I prefer use a more "ragtime" without tempos changes approach... as on Bix recording of the tune).
