So my Thursday morning starts with one of my favourite live jazz albums. Andre Previn should perhaps need no introduction, his extraordinary career had three main genres: Holywood films, jazz and classical music. In his film career he was nominated for 11 Oscars winning four. He received a Grammy lifetime achievement award and a Kennedy Centre Honor for his contribution to classical music, as well as KBE (as a non commonwealth citizen he was only permitted to use the letters KBE and not the title of Sir Andre). As for the remaining cast, the renown and influence of Ray Brown is legendary, notably as a founding member of the Modern Jazz Quartet and his extensive work with Ella Fitzgerald and Oscar Peterson. Mundell Lowe is perhaps the least we'll known but his career included being one of the most sought after session guitarist and he was a member of the Today Show band for ten years, in the jazz world he worked with Jimmy Dorsey, Tommy Dorsey, Bill Evans, Billie Holiday, Red Norvo, Charles Mingus, Charlie Parker, Sauter-Finegan and Lester Young to name but a few.
This album shows just how three "old friends" play jazz, totally infectious !https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...2242a55be2.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ffcfd9759e.jpg

Next up is a must have in any jazz collection, this album from the man referred to as "The Sound", because of his warm lyrical tone, is considered as one of the most influential albums in bringing Bossa Nova to the USA, winning him a Grammy for best Jazz Performance in 1963. The follow up album, Getz / Gilberto was to win him a Grammy for the single Girl From Ipanema as well as Best Album and make Astrud Gilberto's vocal the definitive version of the song.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...fb2cda484a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...cf09f98c86.jpg

To finish the morning before work beckons this glorious album from the iconic Oscar Peterson, I saw him live in the 80's and what a talent, he once said of jazz "you can take an audience on a journey but you must always remember to bring them back" his playing was just that, never losing sight of the melody no matter how inventive the interpretation. Despite a stroke in 1993 diminishing his playing in his left hand he continued to perform occasionally with one commentator stating " Peterson plays better with his right hand than most jazz pianists play with both hands".
His partners in crime are the legendary Ray Brown on double bass and the vastly underapreaciated Ed Thigpen on drums.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...892869a897.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...35a83fd566.jpg
