This late-'58 session, recorded after André Previn's trio had come off extensive touring, showed the multi-faceted pianist immersed in jazz playing and presents one of the truest pictures of his jazz concept. His funky sound is definitely of the era, but all his own, clean and a bit classical with extensive and creative ideas on how to employ the left hand. Previn also seized the opportunity to spotlight Red Mitchell, then and now one of the absolute master bassists, and created many opportunities for stunning Mitchell solos, particularly on two extended blues.
