Beautiful performance of the big G. Auld unusual in a swing-jazz version of it. Good sound. Another point of interest.

Great - simply great.Georgie Auld, one of the Music Heroes of my Youth. This is a proof how Music keeps Men - and Women off course - young and alive.

I first learned of Georgie's work as a result of the movie "New York, New York." I was hooked! I really like this arrangement, which more than amply gives Georgie the canvas with which to paint his work. Gutsy, hard-swinging, and what a big tone. At a festival in Roseburg, Oregon, he told me "Bobbie" (Robert DeNiro) was a full-immersion "quick-study" and that "he could actually play." I would venture to say this rendition of Body and Soul ranks as one of (if not the) best ever recorded.

Sorry, my mistake - it's Not Georgie in the 1950 clip, it's Flip Philips. Still love Georgie though!
