Pianist Ernie Warren was a regular fixture on the New York nightclub scene of the 1950's. He led the main orchestra at the Stork Club, the Savoy Plaza, the Little Club, Le Cupidon, the Hawaiian Room at the Lexington Hotel, and many others. He played a wide array of styles on the piano from jazz to "society" music and his main goal was to please. In this album, for example, he wanted "to communicate a wide variety of moods." Slow, romantic music for dancing or day dreaming; Latin-American rhythms; and even a touch here and there of rock and roll, made particularly intriguing by his rolling use of the lower register of the piano. Very few recordings exist of this once popular entertainer, and this audiophile recording from 1959 faithfully captures the popular entertainer in the setting he knew best. Recorded live at Peacock Alley at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in Manhattan, backed by a trio featuring the great Al Caiola on guitar, Ted Prashina on bass and Mario Toscarelli on drums. All selections newly remastered.
