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 !
