This out-of-print LP (when is Columbia going to start seriously reissuing their
Andre Previn jazz dates on CD?) is one of the pianist's strongest. Teamed up with guitarist
Herb Ellis, bassist
Ray Brown and drummer
Shelly Manne,
Previn performs six standards (including "No Moon at All," "Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin'" and "Like Someone In Love"), plus an original apiece by each of the musicians. The musicians, all friends, show obvious mutual respect, and despite a lack of rehearsal, the swinging results are generally quite memorable.
