André Previn, David Finck - We Got It Good And That Ain't Bad: An Ellington Songbook album flac

Previn has always been an adept, if not brilliant, pianist whose jazz leanings have belied his classical training. Here he interprets the music of Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn lovingly and as well as any legit jazzster could, with help from the fine bassist David Finck. While this music can easily stand on its own, Previn's technical ability and heartfelt stretching of the original blueprints urge these well-worn tunes to carry new meaning and substance. This second CD with Finck, the previous being a Gershwin songbook "We Got Rhythm," signifies a step up for the veteran pianist, and is perhaps his shining recorded hour.

Andre Previn slips so naturally from jazz to classical, from conducting to pianism and composing, that we begin to wonder why other musicians feel more constrained - so firmly confined within the limits of one style or activity. In fact, it needs a special range of abilities to accomplish such a variety of things. With such widely spread talents, there must be a lot of creative cross-fertilisation - the composer guiding the course of improvisation, the classical pianist's finesse of touch and phrasing animating the jazzman's spontaneous elaboration.

Andre Previn - or more accurately, Sir Andre, given the knighthood bestowed upon him by Queen Elizabeth in 1996 - is one of the very few pianists who moves back and forth between jazz and classical music with ease. Others of note are Keith Jarrett and, to a lesser extent, Mel Powell. There has been considerable debate whether a classical musician can successfully make this transition given the restraints on improvisation in the classical genre. Thus, his interpretations on this album are replete with arpeggios and trills, complicated runs, discordant explorations in minor keys, shifting time signatures and more. It all makes for an interesting and challenging 73 minutes of music. Ain't Got That Swing. Track Listing: Take the. Personnel: David Finck: bass; André Previn: piano.
