I don't see any mention of Andre Previn with Benny Goodman in 1958 in a small group setting on the Columbia album "Happy Session". Some of the "extra" tracks (unissued ) came out on one of the Yale University library volumes.Very nicely executed Jazz piano,perhaps not up to the level of Teddy Wilson or Mel Powell,but Previn captures the moment beyond criticism. His tune "You're gonna hear from me",written with his then wife,Dory,who did the lyrics,for the film "inside Daisy Glover" was a favorite of Bill Evans as a Jazz vehicle. There were many 50's Jazz sessions where Previn excelled...Benny Carter,Helen Humes etc.
Someone compared Previn to Duke Ellington,as he did "everything"...Duke did Duke,he didn't "do everything"...he WAS everything!
You guys,the two or three of you that fuel this thread just type,type,type and never say anything. Who wants to read it? .It just goes on and on and on and on and on....Say less and say smarter. Andre previn never took the elevator,always the stairs....yikes! You guys need to give Jazz a break!
