Marian McPartland is a pianist, composer, record producer, writer and educator. Born Marian Margaret Turner in Windsor, Eng. (Berkshire), she began playing piano as a small child.

Concerned about the legacy of jazz, much of her later professional life has focused on educating young children about this musical genre.
