Product Description A follow-up to her best selling QUIET CHRISTMAS, pianist, Beegie Adair, performs intimate solo piano renditions of some of her all time favorite romantic songs. About the Artist Born in Cave City, Kentucky, a small farming community of 1,400 residents, Beegie Adair (say B-G) grew up avidly listening to music. At age four she started the "two-finger-hunt-and-peck" system on the piano, but began actual lessons when she was five and continued studying piano through college at Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green where she received her Bachelor of Science Degree in Music Education. During college, she played jazz professionally every weekend. She taught music to children in the Kentucky school system for three years, but spent her summers working in Nashville. The first summer she joined the Hank Garland Quartet, "and my education continued. Hank was a jazz guitarist that many other guitarists looked up to," Beegie comments. Arriving in Nashville during the heyday of Country music allowed her the opportunity to accompany such legendary performers as Chet Atkins, Johnny Cash, and Dolly Parton. Because Nashville was a hot bed of musical television tapings and live performances during that time, Adair also worked with such entertainers as Neil Diamond, Mama Cass Elliott, and Peggy Lee in her position as in-house pianist for The Johnny Cash Show for ABC-TV plus other television programs featuring Lucille Ball, Carol Burnette, and Dinah Shore. She currently records exclusively for the Village Square label, (www.villagesquare.com), and performs around the country with her trio as well as a weekly gig in Nashville at F. Scott's lounge.
I'm "cutting and pasting" the same review for all the Beegie Adair albums I'm purchasing, because I just ADORE her jazz piano styling! Each album is another jewel. I play the piano too, and wish that I could play like Beegie. If she can make me actually LIKE "Little Drummer Boy," that's really saying something! I've collected close to a dozen albums so far, and listen to her at home, in the car, and even in my classroom! Beegie's music is tasteful and soothing, but is never mawkish or cloying. Hers is high-class, technically pure romantic jazz. Her collections are all equally enticing! Beegie Adair is one of the best piano artists in the country.
