Hi Tsim,
We believe the track you heard (starting with solo piano) was:
‘Laurie’ composed by Bill Evans
Performed by: Chick Corea/Eddie Gomez/Paul Motian
CD: 'Further Explorations' (Concord cja 3336402)
You could try and have another listed to the show and pick it up again here:

And you can see the complete Jazztrack playlist from April 29th:

Good luck – I hope this has helped,

Hi Mal Stanley,
Re: Apr.29, 2012 (5:43-5:47 pm)
Your sharing of the good music/songs is so enjoyable and impressive in your programs ! You are one of the best DJs in ABC Jazz which I and my fans are always appreciate !
I should be grateful if you could kindly inform me the name of the song which was played on the specified time of the caption. I regret that as my English is not good, I could not fully gasp the name/player of the fastastic piano piece which per my memory started with a series of single note of beautiful piano playing just like the `ting, ting, ting ....' making me feel extremely attracted by the melody. I sincerely hope your information will lead me to buy the lovely disc for me and my family's enjoyment ! Much appreciated to your kind attention to this request, and you may reply me by email at tsimnmay@bigpond.com. Best regards, Tsim
Hi there, yes we're lucky enough to be able to play some Marian McPartland interviews from time to time - during our interview spots, on Thursdays at 2pm. Here's some examples of recent broadcasts:

Thanks for listening....!

Why doesn't ABC Jazz include Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz from NPR? It used to be on ABC Classic FM years ago.
I thought ABC Jazz on Digital Radio replayed JazzTrack on Tuesday at 2pm??? not on ..
Just heard Duke's Place, with Louis! Very nice! I'm listening on my iBook in San Diego, California@ 12:19 a.m. Wed. I used to listen way back in the 60's when I lived in Perth to Jim McLeod's Jazztracks. He had a smooth almost silky style that worked!
