Andre Previn

From 1958 the dizzy fingers of a young Andre Previn 

Mad About the Boy Review by Scott Yanow

From 1947 to April 1950, pianist Andre Previn recorded 23 selections for the Victor label. Although the recording dates are not given on this long-out-of-print LP, the 11 numbers are taken from that period. Previn is featured with either Bob Bain or Al Viola on guitar, Lloyd Pratt or Charles Parnell on bass and drummer Jackie Mills; a string section pops up on a couple of the numbers. Still a teenager at the time of these performances, Previn was already a very talented pianist, as he shows on such numbers as "Anything Goes," "You Took Advantage of Me" and "Who Cares."
