The Andre Previn jazz albums

Perhaps Previn is best known for his work in classical music,  but my acquaintance with him has been through his wonderful jazz recordings. Like anyone else, all his work is not all of equal quality, but so far, at least, on every album there has been a song or two of superlative beauty. Previn has a knack for taking a pretty song, or even an average tune, and turning it into something that sparkles in our ears and makes us say, "That is as good as anything I ever heard." If you like piano jazz, then you need to be acquainted with this master of the art.
