Serenade in Blue

The beautiful song "Serenade in Blue" was written by Harry Warren and Mack Gordon for the film Orchestra Wives in 1942. It was introduced in the film by Lynn Bari with the Glenn Miller Orchestra. However Bari's voice was dubbed by Pat Friday. This arrangement is by Steve Allen. I play it on the slow side but I kind of like it. I might change my mind down the road when I come back to it. Many th...

Song no. 15 From My Living Room-One For My Baby. This is one of the greatest torch songs in the literature with music by Harold Arlen and lyrics by Johnny Mercer. The song was originally written for Fred Astaire in 1943 for the film The Sky's the Limit. The movie wasn't very good (as Margaret Whiting told me personally)Fred Astaire plays a tap dancing test pilot. The song went on to become one ...

They Can't Take That Away From Me From My Living Room song number 14. This was one of the last songs that the Gershwins wrote together. George was nominated posthumously for an Academy Award for best song of 1937. However the song lost to Sweet Leilani made popular by Bing Crosby. They Can't Take That Away From Me was written for Astaire for the film Shall We Dance in 1937. The song was reused ...

Pure Imagination-Song Number 12 From My Living Room. I have always loved this song written for Gene Wilder for Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory by Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse. As a side note the Daddy Long Legs piece you see behind the piano was the original art work that went up in front of the camera for the opening titles of that film with Fred Astaire and Leslie Caron. I'll save...

Love Walked In (Trans. by Percy Grainger) song number 11 From My Living Room. I haven't performed this song for almost 20 years but it brought back a really wonderful memory for me and that is why I've gone back to it after all these years. Today would have been my father's 96th Birthday. He used to love to listen to me practice this piece and really enjoyed listening to the tremolos. It gave h...

People-Song number 9 From My Living Room. Today is my 58th Birthday. Although I consider everyday to be my Birthday I'm grateful for all my friends and fellow lovers of music. I thought it would be appropriate to record the gorgeous song People from Funny Girl by Jule Styne and Bob Merrill. I'm most grateful for the greatest blessing in my life Jan Glazier.

Song number eight From My Living Room-Body and Soul. This arrangement by Cy Walter who was called the Park Avenue Art Tatum is brilliant on many levels.

    I know this is a pretty old film now but, I have to say that I am humbled and honored to have met Andy on several occasions. He was living in NJ and he played in my dads Salsa band. I watched him at my house listen to a song on a vinyl record one time. He then proceeded to play the piano part with the band on the first try. I was a young kid at the time but I was amazed. My dad still talks about him to this day. Unbelievable talent...RIP Andy
