Member CD Reviews IC B. (icberry) Reviewed on 4/28/2023... Originally a four-LP deluxe box set, this project was conceived by producer Norman Granz to showcase the singing talents of the great Fred Astaire in a jazz context. Astaire-the-vocalist is backed by an all-star ensemble conducted by pianist Oscar Peterson. The project spanned Astaire’s then 20-year long movie career presenting a selection of songs by composers such as Irving Berlin, George Gershwin, and Cole Porter, which he had premiered in his various films in the 1930s and 1940s. The set was conceived in the typical Granz jam session style, with plenty of instrumental solos, and on some tracks, Astaire was recorded tap dancing on a big wooden block. On Verve, 2017.
