From the back cover: Andre Previn was born in Berlin, Germany on April 6, 1929.

He has composed and arranged for motion pictures studios since 1948. Andre's piano style was heard on jazz albums during the fifties and early sixties, which were comprised mostly of Broadway and motion picture show tunes. His biggest success came in 1957 with My Fair Lady, which also featured Shelly Manne on drums

Since the mid-sixties Andre has been inactive in jazz but has conducted major orchestra throughout the United States and Europe.

Red Mitchell, bass, also plays piano, cello and bass guitar.

He was born in New York City on September 20, 1927. Red has worked with Hampton, Hawes and later Dizzy Gillespie in 1968.

He uses the bass as a solo instrument and on side two of Sessions Live, Red is featured on Bass violin with his quartet.

Featured vocalists on these session is Toni Harper.

By the time she was eleven, Toni had played most of the theaters in New York City including Carnegie Hall. She also sang and starred with Cab Calloway as a child star.

These sessions in 1957 reflect a mature vocal style which proves you can be a child star and evolve with a new successful direction in the field of jazz. – Jim Pewter
