I owe it to this thread, and Andre Previn to post my thoughts on him and his musical abilities.
He's clearly not given the credit he deserves as a jazz musician, but many jazz musicians are not given any credit at all, so maybe that's just the disparity in regard to the two different genres; Classical and jazz.
I first became acquainted with Mr. Previn's music in the form of "My Fair Lady"; it was "West Coast" cool and hip in a different kind of way. This is as hip as it gets, that cat could jam.

May he rest in peace, somewhere as hip and cool as his music.
