Synopsis

Album Description

After graduation from Oxford University, Dudley Moore made a consistent and successful living as a jazz pianist. Throughout his life, music remained the central theme - through his early success with 'Beyond the Fringe,' his partnership with Peter Cook in television and in film, and later during his Hollywood years as a beloved movie star. Dudley's remarkable ability as a composer and his sense of humor came together in the musical parodies that he wrote for 'Beyond the Fringe.' A later parody, his brilliant 'Madrigal,' is included on this CD. Martine Avenue.

CD Reviews

Dudley's the man!

"The more I listen to this, it's harder to choose which piece is my favorite in the album. It was "Poova Nova" at first, but now I'm addicted to the music he wrote for his 2 films, "Bedazzled" and "30 is a dangerous age, Cynthia." Then there are his hot renditions of jazz pieces "Straight Life", "Exactly Like You" and "Sooz Blooz". "Waltz for Suzy" is hauntingly beautiful.. "Head First" is a great opener - very 60's sound to it that puts you in a jolly mood, as well as "Hello Sailor". "Madrigal" is hilarious and I couldn't believe it was actually him singing! I listen to this CD a lot!"

"Not only was this special man a classic comedian but was also a superb musician. I have several of his albums now and they continue to be favourites for times when I need to just kick back and shed the day to day crud from my head. Dudley is an excellent pianist with a great feel for jazz and contemporary music. Highly recommended for a listen."
