Larry Adler did a Gershwin album with George Martin to mark his 80th
birthday. I saw him play in Australia, an unforgettable show.
In addition to his signature tone and impeccable execution, his wit and
skill as a raconteur were standouts. We were all under his thrall,
including the women on stage. Apparently he was a major figure in
Hollywood social circles, and once paired with Ingrid Bergman.
To see the master at work, check out the film clip. From the 40's by the
look of it.
