5.0 out of 5 stars One of the greatest jazz piano trio recordings of all time, March 6, 2002
This review is from: Trio Jazz: King Size (Audio CD)
From a fellow jazz pianist, Previn is at the height of his creative powers here, swinging madly and playing at a very, very high level. From the slow, intoxicating, remarkable late-nite-blues "Much Too Late" to the exquisitely beautiful "It Could Happen to You"--one of the most glorious jazz piano ballads ever recorded--this is great, great music. Red Mitchell and Frankie Capp provide stellar support and rapport. Easily Previn's greatest jazz outing of all time. Love the finest in jazz piano music? Here is some of the best.

5.0 out of 5 stars good jazz, April 18, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Trio Jazz: King Size (Audio CD)
I first heard one of the tracks on the radio (I remember April), and was motivated to look it up and bought the album online. It's all top notch jazz from a total master of the piano. I recommend it. Great driving music. As good as it gets.

2.0 out of 5 stars DISAPPOINTING..., January 26, 2007
This review is from: Trio Jazz: King Size (Audio CD)
As a huge fan of Andre Previn and the various trios he put together through the years, I was stunned when I played this CD for the first time for a group of friends. They were as shocked as I was. This recording in no way represented that unique classic light inventive jazz style of Andre Previn. Even the producer of the album agrees. On the printed album notes, he says,"His (Previn's) funky sound is definitely of the era, but all his own..." That era was 1958. There are 6 recordings in this album. Bands 1 and 6 have a tempo so fast, the melody is quickly devoured. Bands 2,3,4, and 5 are so SLOOOOOOOW, there is never a melody to begin with.

If you want to hear Andre Previn at his best without his short-lived "funky sound" of 1958, pick up a copy of his "Old Friends" album. But as far as this album is concerned, forget it.
