(1958) Andre Previn KING SIZE! [Dtritus]

Another funky Andre Previn album from the late 1950's. This time it's 4 standards
and 2 Previn blues.

Andre Previn...................................piano
Red Mitchell....................................bass
Frankie Capp..................................drums

This late 1958 session, recorded after extensive touring, showed the multi-faceted
pianist immersed in jazz playing and presents one of the truest pictures of his jazz
concept. His funky sound is definitely of the era, but all his own, clean and a bit
classical with extensive and creative ideas on how to employ the left hand. Previn
also seized the opportunity to spotlight Red Mitchell, then one of the absolute
master bassists, and created many opportunities for stunning Mitchell solos, par-
ticularly on two extended blues.................uncredited, paraphrased comment from
