In the past few weeks or months, I have found some excellent jazz piano ladies that I had been unfamiliar with before that. I’m hoping those of you who are piano fans will find these clips worth watching/hearing.
If you have some favorites, please join in.
To begin with, I have listened to all the old Piano Jazz archives with Marian McPartland and her various guests. For more from Marian, including the full hour shows with these next ladies, go to Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz : NPR and click on the “Past Stories by Date” link on the upper right of the page and follow the descriptions for several pages.
Rather than just posting the names of women you like, please link to a clip of them performing or at the very least to their webpage. And if you find a better clip by someone already mentioned, by all means add it to the list.
If this could remain a women-only jazz-only thread, that would be great. But at least keep it to woman and piano.
May I present Jean Kittrelland her various St. Louis groups, including the Jazz Incredibles and St. Louis Rivermen. Can’t YouTube from work so I don’t know if there are any. But if there are, they’re primo.
At the time of the OP I had wanted to include Renee Rosnes in the list of Marian McPartland guests because she has at least two shows with Marian, one along with her husband Bill Charlap. But the YouTube clip was funky so I skipped hers.
