Buddy Greco

The Classic Years Vol 1

Buddy Greco ‘The Classic Years’ is a memorial to the lifelong extraordinary talent and achievements as a revolutionary Jazz Musician and crooner. Buddy sadly passed away on the 10th January 2017 at the age of 90.

His peers have called him a singer’s singer and a musician’s musician. He is Internationally recognized year after year as one of the top Jazz pianists and vocalists of our time. He appears at top night clubs, concert halls and symphonies. He has been a guest on every major television show in the United States and throughout the world. By order of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, Buddy performed at a Command Performance which also featured the Beatles.

He began playing the piano at the age of four. As a child radio personality and gifted pianist, he was a performing veteran by the age of 16 when Benny Goodman ‘discovered’ him. Buddy travelled the world with the Benny Goodman Band for four years as pianist, singer/arranger. Since then, Buddy has sold millions of records and received gold records for hits such as, “Oh Look At Her Ain’t She Pretty,” “The Lady Is A Tramp” and “Around The World”. He recently celebrated the completion of his 65th recorded album and boasts some 100 singles ranging in style from Jazz to Country/Western to modern Pop. A particular favourite is the album he made with the London Symphony Orchestra in which he arranged, conducted and played piano.

Buddy was recently inducted into the Philadelphia Music Alliance’s “Walk of Fame.” He can also be found in the Encyclopaedia Of Great Musicians and the Encyclopaedia of Great Jazz Singers and Musicians.<BR
Buddy has never stopped his relentless drive to stay on top. In 1993 he toured again with the ‘Salute to The Benny Goodman Band,’ this time to headline, star and conduct. The tour encompassed 72 cities drawing capacity crowds and standing ovations.

In between stints at Trump’s Plaza, the Desert Inn, the Cafe Royale and various world tours, Buddy writes music, records albums, scores film and television shows and plays a little golf.

This CD contains classics such as ‘My Funny Valentine’, ‘Moonlight in Vermont’ and ‘How Long Has This Been Going On?’.
