Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Absolutely Fabulous!!!!.......2006-04-10

This is a "must have" for your CD collection. Whether you are having a dinner party, or just need some relaxing music, these CD's are the best. The arrangements are wonderful. Buy! Buy! Buy!

1 out of 5 stars what kind of self respecting jazz pianist does an Elvis cd?.......2003-11-28

Anyone who calls themselves a jazz pianist and does a tribute to Elvis is not a jazz pianist. OK so her cd tribute to sinatra is cool, but come on Elvis, skip this.

5 out of 5 stars Beegie Adair is one sophisticated lady........2003-08-16

The understated elegance of Beegie Adair's pianism belies the ambition of her "Centennial Composers" project. Artur Schnabel, the great Austrian interpreter of Beethoven, Mozart, Schubert, Schumann and Brahms, once said he specialized in "music that is greater than it can ever be played." Listening to these discs, it's obvious that Ms. Adair feels exactly the same way about the songs of Ellington, Gershwin, Porter, Berlin and Rodgers. Her interpretations of their songs show impeccable taste and enormous harmonic invention; yet her improvisations always underscore the beauty of the original melodies, rather than indulging in the "Hey, Look at Me!" riffing of so many other jazz pianists. These CDs are a perfect example of music you can listen to when you don't know what you want to listen to; they make great background music, but also amply repay close repeat listenings.

5 out of 5 stars You're going to love this!.......2003-04-28

If you have not heard Beegie and her trio play, you are in for a treat. This lady plays great standards with an easy swing and excellent arrangements. I have 99% of Beegie's recordings, and every cut is tastefully performed. If you can't afford the whole collection, then you might want to introduce yourself to her music by purchasing the Sinatra or Nat Cole albums. You can't go wrong with any of Beegie's recordings. Enjoy!

5 out of 5 stars Love That Beegie Adair !.......2003-04-16

If you want an easy-going, smooth, relaxing jazz piano...this is it!!

Altogether, delightful and I highly recommend Beegie Adaor's
