4 out of 5 stars Intimate and tuneful.......2005-01-14

I'm an admirer of Previn as both classical and jazz musician, and in both categories he excels. This album has the same intimate, highly musical quality that you'll find in Keith Jarrett's The Melody at Night with You. What I appreciate about both is the fact that the pianist's invention always serves the music; it's never obtrusively artful or showy. Highly recommended. Do yourself a favor and get Jarrett's disc to go along with this.

5 out of 5 stars Underrated Previn.......2002-01-14

Andre Previn has always been an underrated jazz pianist. Because of his astonishing variety of successes as a classical conductor, pianist and composer; a film composer; a songwriter; and a performer of romantic cocktail music, he has been eyed suspiciously by the jazz community. In fact, his Tatum-like virtuosity, and his wildly unique and often playfully humorous piano style has made him one of the most interesting, innovative, and entertaining jazz pianists around. His many trio albums on Contemporary Records in the '50s (with Red Mitchell and Shelly Manne) still hold up as some of the best of their kind. But like Rodney Dangerfield, he never gets any respect. Thus, even his most kind critics are likely to throw darts at "Ballads" as too sweet and not swinging. Nonsense! It's not Monk, but it is nevertheless a beautiful set and a loving tribute to some of the greatest songwriters in Tin Pan Alley. Previn squeezes out every harmonic nuance of each song, yet he sounds like he's playing off the cuff in his living room late at night just to amuse himself. Previn may not swing like Teddy Wilson or Oscar Peterson on this offering, but I can't imagine any serious listener being left unmoved by his version of Burton Lane's "How Are Things In Glocca Morra?" It's simply gorgeous. Previn's amazing talents and his proficiency in many musical styles all come together in this unjustly overlooked CD. Give it a chance!

2 out of 5 stars What happened?.......2001-10-03

THe magic is gone. After reading the liner notes, I learned that someone at the studio asked Previn to make an album of just ballads. BIG MISTAKE. I think he was not in the mood.

5 out of 5 stars Great Jazz.......2006-11-11

If you appreciate the oldies, this collection has something for everyone. My sister told me she couldn't find "Harlem Nocturne" anywhere but it's on this collection with many other greats. I'm buying a second copy for a Christmas gift.

5 out of 5 stars Atmospheric Late-1940s Jazz Collection.......2005-02-23

I am writing a review since the description does not do this item justice. This is a generous two-disc set that for me PERFECTLY captures the smoky late-night melancholy of the late forties.

All the headliners are here -- Frank Sinatra, Charlie Parker, Coleman Hawkins, Benny Goodman, Sarah Vaughan, Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday, and Nat King Cole. But what makes the collection outstanding is the tasteful mixture of greater and lesser lights who all get a chance to shine. The unexpected matchups are also a delight -- Billy Eckstine accompanied by the George Shearing Quintet, Lester Young with the Nat King Cole Trio, Ella Fitzgerald accompanied only by Ellis Larkins' piano, and Tommy Dorsey soloing over the Duke Ellington Orchestra. Appropiately, a Louis Armstrong/Bing Crosby duet closes the set.

It was compiled by Stan Britt who added liner notes and the year each track was recorded (though not complete personnel). Since these items are out of copyright in Great Britain, Britt apparently used the original studio tracks, except for the Miles Davis "Tuba Band," which is identified as an aircheck.

This is wonderful music-making and a terrific bargain!
