Fred Silver at home, just having fun at the piano

Thank you for posting this. This is how I remember my Uncle and always will.  I miss him terribly.

This tape is lovely. Rare to hear Fred play without interruptions- When i lived with Stan Freeman they would often do "two piano" arrangements.. love the sound of two pianos. Stan recorded a lot with Cy Walter. John De Maio and Stan would fool around at two pianos (mostly classical) and "that" was unforgettable. But- those days are gone with the wind ~ as is all good music.

@StuartLou I had never heard of Cy Walter until a piano buddy turned me on to his recordings. Fred 's playing here is an example of what I first heard when I saw him on a gig, and is similar to Cy. The only non-show recording I had of Fred on piano is the De Maio duo 'classical style' concert.

Surprisingly, Fred hadn't mentioned Cy during the time I studied piano with him, although he showed me other pianists' styling devices.
