4.0 out of 5 stars
A revelation! Steve Allen's work never sounded so great!, September 16, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Oh What a Night for Love (Audio CD)
I saw Bugatti at the Bellagio in Las Vegas and was so impressed by his style and showmanship that I sought out and bought this CD. Now I've always been one of those people, confronted by some yahoo telling me that Steve Allen is the most prolific composer in history, who says, "Yeah? Name one song." Well, judging from this record, Allen is pretty much a generic, listmaking kind of writer ("Strawberry moon, Blueberry sky, Polkadot stars, Shining on high" is as deep as he goes), but Bugatti manages to elevate this greengrocer material to something special. He emotes, and the audience feels.
Check it out.
