TONY PERKINS: ON A RAINY AFTERNOON. RCA VICTOR/BMG SPAIN 74321421232 [1996] 

Well, Tony Perkins did also star in a Broadway musical, Frank Loesser's Greenwillow, so he was not a total amateur as a singer.  (The show flopped and its best known song is probably "Never Will I Marry" which was covered by Nancy Wilson on her album with Cannonball Adderley.)  Jack Lemmon was a good pianist (not great, but good) and so-so as a vocalist, getting by more on charm than skill.

Now playing

By the way, John Mehegan was the reason that the local collectors guild became aware of this recording!

Something I recently received in the mail and I'm just giving it a first spin

00394189.jpeg

A little early in the season for this kind of music, but since there were no music samples available when I ordered it, I wanted to check it out.  It's actually a pretty nice album, mostly in a mellowish mood.  Ms. Dennerlein plays Hammond B-3 and is accompanied by reeds player Magnus Lindgren, drummer Robert Ikiz, percussionist Abdissa Assefa, bassist Luca Alemanno (on9 tracks) and guitarist Nicola Conte (on 2 tracks).  Zara McFarlane sings on 3 tracks.  I like it.

Franco D'Andrea - Nuvolao (Carosello, 1978)

Claudio Fasoli / Franco D'Andrea - Jazz Duo (Dire, 1978)

Enjoying both of these very much.  Franco D'Andrea is an excellent pianist.

Has anyone heard any of the CDs from D'Andrea's "Solo" series on Philology?  I haven't -- but they look very interesting.
