O-10:
I once told you computers don't go on the fritz these days. Well, computers might not, but internet providers certainly do. Just got back online.
Previn: Very nice clips. I love that type of playing. Like a slightly less bombastic version of Oscar.
I have several Classical pieces with him as conductor or accompanist. At least one with his wife, the great German violinist, Anne-Sophie Mutter.
I also have the DVD of "Christmas at Carnegie Hall" with Battle, von Sade and Wynton. He conducts the Orchestra. Towards the end of the concert, they gather around his piano for some solo singing of Jazzy Christmas tunes. The look of Previn's face said it all. This was the part he had been waiting for all night. The good stuff!! I think Jazz might still be his first love.
I only have one Jazz CD with him as leader. "After Hours" with Joe Pass and Ray Brown. It is excellent. If you like Previn, you gotta have this one!
The man is a prime example of what is meant by the phrase, 'accomplished musician'. Any genre he can not only play, but excel at playing. "After Hours" was his first Jazz recording in 27 years. You couldn't tell. Here is a clip.
