Not all the Keepnews version tracks were available for streaming on Qobuz so downloaded the album from Presto Jazz.
Thanks to @docbot for his initial posting. George Russell is filling a gap in my jazz appreciation.

It sounds awful but is worth ten minutes on Spotify just to hear this collection of masters breezin’ through the chords. I enjoy both this period and the accompanying social history.

The very best of melodies,a wonderful pianist,super Concord sound and Steve la Spina manages to get a tone from his bass similar to that of Ray Brown.
Jerry Dodgion alto
Joey Barron drums.

AllMusic Review by Ken Dryden [-]
Marian McPartland has continued to grow as a musician over her long career, constantly exploring new songs and new styles while rekindling standards and jazz classics with her own distinctive touch at the keyboard. This pair of 1995 sessions at the Yoshi’s Nitespot in Oakland, CA, feature her in a trio setting with bassist Bill Douglass and drummer Glenn Davis. She slowly percolates a driving bop arrangement of “Like Someone in Love,” and her striking approach to “If I Should Lose You” conveys the emotion of the song even though the lyric isn’t heard. She also ventures into modern Broadway with a mesmerizing waltz interpretation of the ballad “Pretty Women” (from Stephen Sondheim’s Sweeney Todd). Songs by Duke Ellington and Thelonious Monk are an expected part of any performance by the pianist, and she doesn’t disappoint her audience with her lovely take of “Warm Valley” and a strident version of “Straight, No Chaser.” She romps through Charlie Parker’s “Steeplechase,” captures the essence of Clare Fischer’s “Pensativa,” revisits her own beautiful ballad “Silent Pool” (which has been heard on numerous editions of her long-running NPR series “Piano Jazz”), and signs off with Ornette Coleman’s deceptively simple blues “Turn Around,” which of course prompts her to choose an adventurous, improvised route. This live CD is an essential document of McPartland’s career, and no jazz library should be with.

She always looks and dresses like a person you might meet at the WI cake stall. But us hipsters don’t have to dress the part.Oh no.
Drummer Joe Morello’s close friend for several years. Or so it is alleged.
