Description
xBorn in 1916 in Muskogee (yup, the same town Merle Haggard sang about), McShann watched his sister take piano lessons, but his real education came from Earl Hines late-night broadcasts from Chicagos Grand Terrace Ballroom. When Fatha went off the air, I went to bed, he told writer Stanley Dance, years later. At Nashvilles Fisk University, he discovered he had a good musical ear, and he learned on the bandstand with a variety of different groups. His piano playing was tough, two-fisted, and it swung.
