I still love this album,one of my favorites. These musicians really cooked together."Get me to the Church on time"-and many more,sounds great today. Contemporary was a cut above. Thanks for posting the Video.

Thank you for the comment, paciphish. Several weeks ago I heard 'Wouldn't It Be Lovely' played as the background music in a part of a radio program. It's a proof that the music still remains nice and fresh.

The whole series of records on the Contemporary label was perfection. Trios headed by either Andre Previn or Shelly Manne, with either Leroy Vinnegar or Red Mitchell on bass featured some of the tastiest music ever played. I bought these when they came out, and the fidelity is still topnotch, even today. Thanks for posting this video!

Contemorary is one of my favorite labels. Its music and sound quality seem to show how powerful America was at the time. Thank you for the comment, roccovaselino.

This was a breakthrough album at the time it came out and went on to be a best seller. Thanks to the person who posted this version.

You're welcome, epl3600. I was a newborn baby when this album came out. But it's remained fresh ever since.

@AragonBill do youhave the first shelly manne and his friends album with shelly, leroy, and Andre? with tunes like "tangerine", and "I cover the water front?" check it out it's amazing it has a cartoon painting of three ardvarks on the cover

[mrboppman1]

Andre had a way of reconstructing songs into a whole different thing. he transformed this one into a real groove..this stuff still holds up after all these years !

@AragonBi check out the first album they did together it came before my Fair lady called "shelly manne and his friends". it had what appeared to be a modern art painting of three ardvarks on the cover this one is my favorite!..he also did an album with russ freeman and shelly without bass called "Double Play" also great!

I first heard this at a lunchtime jazz music club at Bristol CAT in 1959/60, fell in love with it then and it is still just as fresh now.

Oh how this group swings. It just doesn't get any better than this

I have all three albums that Andre Previn and Shelly Manne recorded together: On The Street Where You Live, Lil Abner, Pal Joey. They are all of equal quality. This particular album was recorded in the late 1950's. On The Street Where You Live was a single hit in Los Angeles and you could play it on the Juke Boxes, which we did. I was at Disneyland in Anaheim, CA, in 1959 and heard this recording as I shopped in a record store right on the main drag. Jazz was in vogue at the time.

I fell in love with Andre Previn in 1952 (I was 12). I had received a 45 RPM record player for Christmas and a 4-record album called Modern Jazz Piano was "thrown in". One side was a recording of Previn playing "Back Home Again in Indiana", which he had recorded when he was only fifteen. It knocked my bobby-socks off, and inspired me to become a jazz pianist. In 1960, when I had my own money and was able to buy a 3-speed phonograph, the first album I bought was his "My Fair Lady" LP.
