McPartland mentions Paul's gig at Iridium during the program.
"It takes your whole life, because you're constantly thinking up new things," Paul said in a backstage interview at Iridium Jazz Club, where he has commuted from his home in Mahwah, N.J., almost every Monday night since 1996. (http://www.usatoday.com/life/music/news/2007-04-22-lespaul_N.htm)
"I think the standard is still very high, with people like guitarist Les Paul. He doesnt play any piano, but why does he have to?" - Marian McPartland (http://www.gibson.com/whatsnew/pressrelease/2002/may14a.html)
