This one of my top albums. I love playing it -- so tasteful and beautifully produced. On this album are two more legends, one a classical violinist and the other a jazz fiddler, sadly now both deceased. This album was recorded in 1981.
What makes this disc so extra special is the input of arranger/conductor Nelson Riddle. And of course all three are tipping their top hats to the peerless Fred Astaire. During the course of his career Fred managed to introduce some really superb songs. In fact, it's been said that Gershwin, Kern, Youmans, Porter, Berlin and others wrote some of their finest songs with Astaire in mind. True, he was a unique dancer, but he had winning ways with a song as well.
