Album DescriptionFrom The Simpsons theme to Led Zeppelin's "Black Dog," this record is chock-full of an odd assortment of familiar tunes, brilliantly performed. Most recently the pianist for the national tour of the Broadway show Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Ted Kooshian performs regularly around the NY area. Kooshian is a member of the Ed Palermo Big Band and has performed with Aretha Franklin, Blood Sweat & Tears, Chuck Berry, and many others. His bandmates, some of New York's finest jazz musicians, include Jeff Lederer, a member of Matt Wilson's Acoustic Jazz Group. "Ted Kooshian's sleek and fluent soloing adds spice and color." -- All About Jazz
