Made some minor edits, looks adequate for GA, good job. It would be good to see some more newspaper sources from newspapers.com or whatever though and some photos.♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:49, 1 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

That was quick, after a long wait. I used newspapers.com, but the one item listed must have been the only thing that I didn't already have sourced. I looked for photos, but didn't find anything that could definitely be used (I don't really know how to investigate this more thoroughly). Thank you for the review.

Discography excludes work with Charlie Parker

edit

One of the performing highlights in his career were his performances as Charlie Parker's pianist on a few sessions with Bird early in the latter's time with Dial Records. Marmarosa's playing really stands out on those sessions. It is unfortunate that the discography is narrowly set up in such a way that omits Marmarosa's work with Parker.Dogru144 (talk) 16:49, 3 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
