Free Music Review: More on Oscar Levant
Hit: 5 Stars
We are truly fortunate to have the music on this CD preserved. But the best way to appreciate these recordings is to jump in to the era in which they were made. For more about Oscar Levant, I recommend "A Talent for Genius: the Life and Times of Oscar Levant," by Sam Kashner and Nancy Schoenberger. This book takes you into the adjoining penthouse living rooms of George and Ira Gershwin, where Oscar virtually lived for many years. He also wrote three autobiographies that are wonderful reading: A Smattering of Ignorance, The Importance of Being Oscar, and The Memoirs of an Amnesiac.
Oscar Levant was an amazing talent and wit. His insults to everyone were famous, and you never knew what he was going to say next. But when he sat down at the piano...wow! You'll see what I mean when you listen to this CD.
