The record
Previn and Mitchell dig into another Broadway score, this time with a singing, melodic bass line under Previn's light-fingered readings of the songs. Manne keeps time with brushes throughout, part of the label's ongoing run of show-tune trio dates.
Session personnel
- Red Mitchell — bass
- Shelly Manne — drums
- André Previn — piano
Contemporary reception
"BELLS ARE RINGING" -- Shelly Manne and his Friends, Andre Previn, Red Mitchell -- Contemporary M 3559 Drummer Manne, pianist Previn and bassist Mitchell combine for another outing in their "Jazz Goes To Broadway" series for the label, choosing for their vehicle this time, the score from the hit show "Bells Are Ringing." They turn in a most tasteful performance of 9 tunes from the show on ten tracks -- including both a ballad and up tempo version of "The Party's Over". Big name attraction here.
