Andre Previn and J.J. Johnson play Kurt Weill


 I mostly dismissed Andre Previn for years. He still doesn't set my world on fire but he worked with these kick ass dudes and played some of my favorite showtunes so I guess he gets a pass.
  The version of Pirate Jenny (or the crazy titled equivalent) is over the top cool. The rest of the record races to keep up and nearly succeeds.

 1. Bilbao-song
2. Barbara-song
3. Overture
4. Seerauberjenny
5. Moritat
6. Surabaya - Johnny
7. Wie Man Sich Bettet
8. Unzulanglichkeit


Anre Previn - piano
J. J. Johnson - trombone
Red Mitchell - bass
Frank Capp - drums

designed for use on 33 1/3 rpm stereophonic reproducers, but it will work on other devices as well

Many thanks, Hookfinger!
I used a gramophone and it's all right.

Many thanks, not just for this one but also for all the other great music you have turned on to this past month since I found your blog by pure chance.
Can't wait to see what you post next.
