McPartland has hosted Piano Jazz since 1979, conversing and performing with jazz legends. McPartland is a legend in her own right. Born in England, she was a piano prodigy by age three and received classical training during her teens. After joining a four-piano vaudeville act, she toured Europe during World War II, entertaining Allied troops. While on that tour, she met and married cornetist Jimmy McPartland. The multitalented McPartland went on to compose such jazz standards as “Twilight World” and “In the Days of Our Love,” form her own jazz trio, form her own jazz recording label, write a shelf-full of books about jazz, and play with most of the jazz giants of the mid-20th century. Her extraordinary life explains why so many normally reticent musicians open up to McPartland so freely on her show—and why their conversa- tions are so alive. Today’s jazz legends Piano Jazz know McPartland can do more than just talk about jazz; she can also with Marian create it. Some of McPartland’s best McPartland conversations are wordless; she remains a stellar piano accompanist. is heard on As alto saxophonist Phil Woods once said, “Marian is a pro, and she’s got WUSF 89.7 on a real gift of making people feel like themselves.” No wonder musicians Saturdays from from Elvis Costello to Sting, Ray 9 to 10 p.m. Charles and Tony Bennett have been guests on her show.

  • NPR Mideast Coverage April - June 2012
    NPR Mideast Coverage April - June 2012 This report covers NPR's reporting on events and trends related to the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians during the second quarter of 2012. The report begins with an assessment of the 37 stories and interviews, covered by this review, that aired from April through June on radio shows produced by NPR. The 37 radio items is just one more than the lowest number for any quarter (in July-September 2008) during the past ten years. Over that period, NPR programs have carried an average of nearly 100 items per quarter related to Israel, the Palestinians, or both. I also reviewed 20 news stories, blogs and other items carried exclusively on NPR's website. All of the radio and website-only items covered by this review are shown on the "Israel-Palestinian coverage" page of the website. The opinions expressed in this report are mine alone. Accuracy I carefully reviewed all items for factual accuracy, with special attention to the radio stories, interviews and website postings produced by NPR staffers. NPR's coverage of the region continues to be remarkably accurate for a news organization with very tight deadlines. NPR has posted no corrections on its website for stories that originated during the April-June quarter; two corrections were posted in April concerning items dealt with in my report for the January-March quarter. I found no outright inaccuracies during the period, but I will point out two instances of misleading use of language. Freelance correspondent Sheera Frenkel reported for All Things Considered on May 8 about the status of a hunger strike among Palestinian prisoners.
