Soft Summer Breeze
The Piano Mastery Of Eddie Heywood
Produced by Marvin Holtzman
Capitol Records STEREO ST 163
1968
From the back cover: Eddie's outstanding piano artistry first won attention with his recordings with the Benny Carter band of 1939. The years between have been marked by a continuing series of distinguished offerings: "Begin The Beguine" and his unforgettable collaborations with blues vocalist Billie Holiday in 1944... his monumentally popular "Canadian Sunset" in the mid-fifties... and his deeply satisfying mood albums of more recent issue, including his excellent "With Love And Strings" collection of just last year.
For "Soft Sumer Breeze," Eddie has called in a select group of old friends: bassist Al Lucas who also performed on "Begin The Beguine" twenty-five years ago; drummer Bobby Donaldson, alternating with Grady Tate; and, as a special guest artist, Toots Thielemans, virtuosos performer on both harmonica and guitar.
