Uploaded by texpaco on May 12, 2009
André Previn is a German-born American Academy and Grammy Award-winning pianist, conductor, and composer. In the mid 50s to mid 60s, and again more recently, he toured and recorded as a jazz pianist. He worked with Shelly Manne, Leroy Vinnegar, Benny Carter and others, and recorded with the David Rose Orchestra. Forgoing jazz for classical music, in 1967 he became music director of the Houston Symphony Orchestra. In 1968 he became principal conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra, serving in that post until 1979. He gained wide attention and popularity with his composition "Like Young", recorded with the David Rose Orchestra. David Rose also released a version of "Like Young" featuring vibes instead of piano. "Like Young" made #22 on the R&B chart and #46 on the pop chart in 1959, receiving more jukebox play than airplay.

Wow, what a blockbuster from 1959 ! ! !
David Rose Orchestra took the grammy for this 'Best Orchestral Performance' & Previn & his composition were nominated for 'Best Jazz Soloist'. Thanks for posting - thru youtube I've learned the names of the songs & performers of the music I've loved my whole life!
I added this to 3 of my 550 playlists - David Rose, Jazz Favorites, and Music of 1959. 111 playlists let you hear the music of any year since 1900.

If Hampton Hawes had sued Andre Previn for plagiarism he would have won hands down, but then they do say 'imitation is the sincerest form of flattery', and Previn wasn't the only contemporary of Hamp who 'borrowed heavily' from him.
