Recorded a few years before Teddy Wilson’s 1986 death (the exact date is not listed on this CD), this edition of Marian McPartland’s Piano Jazz is quite valuable. Wilson talks about his early days, his practice routine, rambles a bit and plays a variety of swing standards. McPartland has “Marian’s Motif” as her feature but best are the piano duets on “I’ll Remember April” and a fun version of “Flying Home.” This is a fine tribute to the much missed Teddy Wilson. – Scott Yanow
