Pianists
André Previn and
Russ Freeman team up with drummer
Shelly Manne in a trio to play eight of their originals (along with the standard "Take Me Out to the Ball Game"), all given titles having to do with baseball.
Double Play! was advertised as the first time that two pianists recorded what was then modern jazz together.
Previn and
Freeman had very complementary styles, making it difficult to know who was playing when, although a complete play-by-play is included.
