Free Music Notes for The Astaire Story
Free Music Review: a labour of love
Hit: 5 Stars
for some time fred astaire passionately wanted to make a recording with a group of jazz musicians. he wanted a sense of spontainaity, he wanted to introduce many of the numbers with a brief narrative and he wanted to include a couple of dancing jam sessions.in 1953 he got his wish. the musicians are an exempelary group, which included oscar peterson and the result, called the astaire story, is a labour of love.
upon its release some critics harped on the fact that astaire wasnt a great singer.
thats a given, but he is an interesting singer and shares that special category with notables like dean martin, sammy davis, al jolson, and even hank williams sr.
the astaire story withstands the test of time and i must personally rank as one of my most valued posessions in my collection.
from the first track to the last this is something special.
the extreme standouts are steppin out with my babay, oh lady be good, i love louisa and of corse top hat, white tie and tails. but, every track is pure joy.
it really does come together as a conceptual valentine to making music.
the astaire story is out of print and has been released under various titles, one being steppin out with my baby which is a massively condensed disc and not recommended. the other titles i have not heard, but if like the steppin out release, they omit the intros, then i would hold out for this.
astaires intros are heartwarming and valuable.
