Multi-instrumentalist Corky Hale has been blazing trails since her career began. She started piano at age 3, harp at 8, flute at 10 and cello at 12. In the late 1950s, she became Mel Tormé's pianist and teamed up with Billie Holiday in Las Vegas and Los Angeles.
On this episode of Piano Jazz from 1993, Hale performs "Yesterdays" on the harp with Herb Michman joining on bass. She duets with host Marian McPartland on "Tea for Two."
Originally broadcast in the fall of 1993.
