Before he became a prominent orchestra conductor, André Previn was a talented jazz pianist based in Los Angeles. His firm touch, virtuosity and driving sense of swing were celebrated on jazz records he recorded for Contemporary and other labels. In October 2009, Sony Music Japan reissued several of his Columbia jazz albums. Released on CD for the first time in the world, Play Mack The Knife is an interesting project co-led by Previn and J.J. Johnson, a preeminent trombonist. With Previn's trusted rhythm section (Red Mitchell and Frank Capp), they form a formidable quartet. A celebration of the great composer Kurt Weill, the quartet arranges and performs Weill's evergreen musical numbers from "Happy End," "The Threepenny Opera" and "Mahagonny." Previn's clever and sophisticated arrangements are as much a star as the two principal soloists. 

An important record for fans of André Previn and J.J. Johnson!
