Thinking
about Andre Previn. He scored movies at MGM while still in his teens.
He was an amazing jazz pianist in his 20's -- 1956's "Shelly
Mann and his Friends" is one of my favorites. He was a sought
after concert pianist who was amazing with Barber, Poulenc, Mozart,
Gershwin, Shostakovich and others. He began an outstanding conducting
career in the first half of the 60s. He conducted great works with
great orchestras. He composed violin concertos and even operas. He
was 89. A great life.

Beautiful and emotional tribute to a great, an artist. Rest in peace.
I didn't realise he was that old. A true master.
It is always a sad day when great, favorite artists pass.
