Title: Poetry in Ivory
Review: This new CD includes recordings made between 1940 and 1947. They are monophonic. After thorough re-mastering many of them still show their age. However, despite some technical flaws, this albumcontains many well known standards, that made Cavallaro famous.Performance of "Brasil" or "Dancing in the Dark',"Carioca" played by33 year old pianist show his improvisational skills and unmatchedvirtuosity as well as his characteristic ornate style. On many of these recordings Cavallaro and his band play as instrumental accompaniment for Bing Crosby , Dick Haynes or Andrews Sisters where Cavallaro remains in the background. All recordings remain a great gift to all Cavallaro admirers bringing back a flavorof an era of big bands and unforgettable piano soloists.
