Andre Previn was just 16 years old when he recorded the earliest numbers on
Previn at Sunset, but he was already a brilliant pianist and a busy arranger at
the MGM studios. Most (but not quite all) of the recordings that he made for the
Sunset and Monarch labels, among the earliest in his career, are here. A major
swing stylist who had not yet been affected by bop, Previn is heard on some
unaccompanied solos; in three different trios with such sidemen as guitarists
Dave Barbour or Irving Ashby, bassists John Simmons, Eddie Safranski, or Red
Callender, and drummer Lee Young; and a couple of jam tunes (All the Things You
Are and I Found a New Baby) with a sextet also either Buddy Childers or Howard
McGhee on trumpet, altoist Willie Smith, and Vido Musso on tenor. The small
group swing performances are quite enjoyable, and the teenage pianist easily
keeps up with the other, more famous players.~Scott Yanow
