Ms. Beegie Adair is one of those musicians many people have heard without realizing it. As a regular Nashville session hand, she has played with no less than Johnny Cash and Dolly Parton. Adair also has had a parallel career as a jazz pianist in the genially lyrical mold of Errol Garner and George Shearing. Dancing In The Dark is a tribute to the music sung by and associated with Fred Astaire. (While not a jazz singer per se, Astaire himself recorded with jazz musicians such as Oscar Peterson on occasion.) Accompanied only by bass and drums, Adair imbues these classic, old-school romantic songs with good-natured swing, keeping that aspect of Astaire's flair intact. ~ Mark Keresma https://www.allmusic.com/album/dancing-in-the-dark-a-tribute-to-fred-astaire-mw0000794474
