Shelly Manne and Friends - My Fair Lady

Hybrid Stereo SACD

Mastered direct to DSD from the original stereo tape

Drummer Shelly Manne's hugely popular 1956 trio session dedicated to the Broadway musical!

Shelly Manne & Friends' My Fair Lady is the first album to ever consist of jazz versions of songs from just a single Broadway musical. First released in 1956 and recorded by legendary engineer Roy DuNann, this new edition features remastered audio direct to DSD from the original tapes.

Shelly Manne and his Friends — bassist Leroy Vinnegar and the once and future classical pianist André Previn — had recorded a trio album before this one (Shelly Manne and Friends OJCCD-240-2), but My Fair Lady was the first and biggest-selling of the jazz versions of Broadway shows, TV themes, and film soundtracks later recorded by the trio.

Although the Friends made memorable interpretations of Lil Abner, Pal Joey, Gigi, Bells Are Ringing, and West Side Story, their My Fair Lady remains a true classic to this day.
