Fall's here!

Ferrante & Teicher - "Autumn Leaves" (1966) - ABC-Paramount

Hello friends,

On the turntable tonight we're celebrating the Autumnal Equinox with the dueling piano stylings of Mr. Arthur Ferrante and Mr. Louis Teicher!

This 1966 release is actually a re-release of an earlier LP, Postcards from Paris (1962).  Its solid and schmaltzy, with a definite French flair, but not a lot in the way of exotic arrangements or weird experimentation like on their earlier records.

Their version of the title track, "Autumn Leaves" makes me wish they covered the sad walking away music from the 1980's "Incredible Hulk" television show! 



RATING: 4 Bruce Banners out of 5
