Product Description The present album finds Al in his element, provided with material from the long-prolific pen of Jerome Kern. Haig's version of Yesterdays (introduced in a 1933 musical, Roberta) finds him in a reflective mood, with fills and ornamentations that are at times evocative of Art Tatum. It is interesting that even on the up tempo pieces such as I'm Old Fashioned, Al bears little resemblance to Bud Powell, who was generally accepted in his day as the pace-setting bebop pianists. The supple bass work on this and other tracks is by Jamil Nasser. -From the 1980 liner notes. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsThis is a cd on the level of Mr. Kern Romeu França | sao paulo, sao paulo Brazil | 02/18/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "What more one can expect? Helen Merrill together with Al Haig is something extra. Both artists are sophistecated, cultivated and give their best in this sort of Kern songbook.Of course the music of this composer is one of the best ever. Jerome Kern was a man who knew about music indeed. His tunes are still around and are already classics songs.They are not easy listening as look like at first, and this is something that Al Haig understood very well, showing the complex side of this tunes.As for Hellen, her "they didn't beleive" version is fantastic. Well she always is."
