An absolute gem from the Golden Era of Jazz!
3 big names ... an unusual but wonderful combination:
* Film legend Fred Astaire
* Jazz impresario and producer Norman Granz
* Oscar Peterson, one of the most legendary jazz pianists ever
Fred Astaire was always more known for his dance moves than for his singing.
But these recordings are truly sensational!
His interpretations of great jazz classics from the pens of Irving Berlin, Cole Porter and George Gershwin
are just groundbreaking.
Line Up:
* Oscar Peterson on piano and celesta
* Ray Brown on bass
* Charlie Shavers on trumpet
* Flip Phillips on tenor saxophone
* Barney Kessel on guitar
* Alvin Stoller on drums
2 CDs, remastered sound on the cutting edge of technology, more than 150 minutes of playing time!
A must-have for every jazz collection!
