Collaboration (Shorty Rogers and André Previn album)


Collaboration is an album by American jazz trumpeter Shorty Rogers and German pianist André Previn released by RCA Victor in 1955.

Reception

noted "Shorty Rogers and Andre Previn split the arranging chores in a somewhat competitive fashion. Rogers arranges a standard and then that is followed by a Previn original based on the same chord structure. This procedure is followed until the halfway point of the date when they reverse roles....the result is a dead heat with some fine swinging solos".
