Great jazz trio CD
Wonderful music here, for sure. Half the tunes are Harold Arlen songs and the other half Duke Ellington (or Duke-associated) pieces. What impresses most is the freshness these "old-timers" bring to the music, selections they could prpbably play in their sleep. But they make it sound like it's a first outing. BETWEEN THE DEVIL ... is taken medium-tempo and has a snappy, crisp feel to it rarely heard these days. LET'S FALL IN LOVE is also medium-tempo and has excellent Mundell Lowe guitar work. The quickest track is IT DON'T MEAN A THING, and Previn's playing is as close to Oscar Peterson's one could get without being a direct copy - marvelous! THINGS AIN'T WHAT THEY USED TO BE is done medium-slow and with a stacatic, punchy flavor that is very ear-catching. This is a most enjoyable CD of three masters delivering superb music to the best of anyone's ability. Definitely worth checking out.
