Review by Juan Jesús Molina García

The album "Ain't Misbehavin Live At The Jazz Showcase" by Marian McPartland and Willie Pickens is a delightful treat for jazz enthusiasts. Recorded live at the legendary Jazz Showcase in Chicago, the album captures the essence of the two pianists' unique styles and their seamless collaboration.

Marian McPartland, known for her elegant and refined playing, and Willie Pickens, a master of the blues and boogie-woogie, complement each other perfectly on this album. The duo's chemistry is evident from the first notes of the opening track, "Honeysuckle Rose," and continues throughout the entire set.

The album features a mix of classic jazz standards, such as "Take the A Train" and "All the Things You Are," as well as lesser-known gems like "Lullaby of the Leaves" and "Blue Monk." McPartland and Pickens' interpretations of these tunes are fresh and exciting, showcasing their virtuosity and creativity.

The live setting adds an extra layer of energy and spontaneity to the performances, and the audience's enthusiastic response is a testament to the musicians' talent. The album's sound quality is excellent, capturing the nuances of the pianos and the ambiance of the club.
