Title: Andre Previn plays the music of Jerome Kern
Review: On this CD Previn as soloist plays in a more exuberant jazz style than on some of his other CDs where he is accompanying singers like Doris Day, Dinah Shore or Sylvia McNair. The improvisations are also more flamboyant than when he is partnered by other musicians, like bassist David Finck or when Previn is playing as part of the Trio with Mundell Lowe or Joe Pass on guitar and Ray Brown on bass. On these other discs, Previn blends in with his partners but playing solo piano he can give full rein to his creative imagination. If you enjoy jazz piano inspired by the wonderful melodies of Jerome Kern, then this is a disc for you. Only one minor criticism - as this recording was made in 1959, there are only 10 tracks on the Cd, which makes for quite a short playing time.Dinah Sings, Previn PlaysAfter Hours With Andre Previn
