5.0 out of 5 stars
Immortal CD of an immortal artist, August 29, 2001
This review is from: Live in Australia (Audio CD)
For a moment, I hesitated to buy a single CD... I am so glad that I did! This CD is a joy from beginning to end. The music is beautifully played as one would expect. Selections from My Funny Valentine to Beethoven's Minuet in G show his versatility. However, the priceless part of this CD is the 12 "Interludes" between the 13 tracks of music. Larry comments on anecdotes about the selection, the composer and tosses in jokes, some quite blue, and tells of his long life and his problems with the McCarthy era. His meetings with Gershwin, Ellington, Holliday and others are charming and hilarious.
Get this wonderful CD, you won't regret it.
