ANDRÉ PREVIN & HIS PALS - Modern Jazz Performances of Songs from Pal Joey (1957-1991) RM / APE (tracks+.cue), lossless

Pianist André Previn, bassist Red Mitchell, and drummer Shelly Manne perform eight songs that debuted in the show Pal Joey. Best known is "I Could Write a Book," which quickly became a standard, but the other, more obscure songs such as "Take Him," "Zip," and "Do It the Hard Way" are also generally good devices for jazz improvising. An enjoyable set of straight-ahead trio music. by Scott Yanow
