“IN GOOD TIME, THE PIANO JAZZ OF MARIAN McPARTLAND,” directed by Huey. Documentary examines the life and career of Marian McPartland as a musician, composer, and host of National Public Radio’s “Marian McPartland’s Piano Jazz.” A native of England, McPartland arrived in America in 1948 with her husband, Jimmy McPartland, and established herself as a leading musician in the male-dominated jazz world. Now 93, McPartland tells her own story through interviews filmed over four years. The film features McPartland’s own harmonically rich compositions and piano improvisations. She is seen performing and regaling audiences in clubs and concert halls, and in “Piano Jazz” recording sessions with Billy Taylor, Elvis Costello, Dave Brubeck, Diana Krall, Bill Frisell, Nnenna Freelon, Renee Rosnes, Dick Hyman and others. Not rated.
