Gem of an album

ficta

Yes, this really is that good. Classic standards played to perfection in strikingly inventive form. And your feet will tap too.

Previn masterpiece

broncgb

This recording was highlighted in the BBC documentary "Andre Previn: All the Right Notes" documentary celebrating Andre's recent 80th birthday. This is piano trio jazz at its most tasteful. Highly recommended.

My favorite albums of All Time!

BenUptheTree

Really. This is one of my top 10 of all time. partially because it's my fathers favorite albums, but also because it's an absolutely stunning jazz record. Although when I first saw the cover I was a little skeptical this album is smart and seemingly effortless in it's translation of My Fair Lady's tunes into great jazz.

This trio set by Shelly Manne & His Friends (consisting of the drummer/leader, pianist AndrĂ© Previn, and bassist Leroy Vinnegar) was a surprise best-seller and is now considered a classic. Previn (who is really the main voice) leads the group through eight themes from the famous play, including “Get Me to the Church on Time,” “I’ve Grown Accustomed to Her Face,” “I Could Have Danced All Night,” and “On the Street Where You Live.” A very appealing set that is easily recommended; an audiophile version has also been released on CD by DCC Jazz. – Scott Yanow
