Ferrante and Teicher - How High The Moon

[mrjaysnipes]

I saw these guys in concert in Sacramento, Calif. around 1969. They had had a lot of hits by then and it was a pretty good show.

Yes Uglybeat, you are correct. I have purchased many of their albums at either Salvation Army or Amvets and other thrift stores. Most of them were in pretty good shape.

I am sad to report that Arthur Ferrante died on September 19, 2009 at his home in Longboat Key, Florida. He was 88. He will be missed, but his legacy lives on through his music along with partner, Louis Teicher

Thanks for leeting us know. I always loved mom's music as much as she did. Somewhere, I think I still have my 'modern' cassette cape I made by recording this album of mom's so I could play it in my car. Chuck

You can get old LP's of F& T their is a website that sells albums of F & T for about $50 for an LP and you can have that same vinyl put on a CD. One sells for $25 which is called a silver copy and the best copy on Cd is called a gold copy CD for $50.

From the August 8, 2008 New York Times....

Lou Teicher, half of the piano duo Ferrante & Teicher, whose florid and sentimental versions of movie themes and love songs made them gods of easy listening and earned them wide popularity beginning in the 1960s, died on Sunday in Highlands, N.C. He was 83 and lived in Sarasota, Fla.

This is a track from the Percussion album that F & T did in the late Fifties. I think Phil Kraus was a percussionist on that date and possibly Bobby Rosengarden. I've been searching high and and low for an LP copy but so far, to no avail.

I remember these guys, they made a lot of albums in the 1960's and '70's.
