Buddy Greco - Talkin' Verve (2001)

Few can match the lifelong extraordinary of Buddy Greco. His peers have called him a singer's singer and a musician's musician. He has been internationally recognized year after year as one of the top Jazz pianists and vocalists of our time. He appears at top nightclubs, concert halls, symphonies and in movies. He has appeared on every major television show in the United States and throughout the world. By order of Queen Elizabeth II, he was one of the only Americans to appear with the Beatles for a command performance for Her Majesty the Queen. 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 18 when Benny Goodman found him. Buddy accepted Benny Goodman's offer of a job as pianist, singer/arranger, and traveled the world with the Benny Goodman Band for two years. 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 enjoys the rare distinction of having made 65 albums, 100 singles ranging in style from Jazz to Country/Western and Pop music. To date, Buddy's particular favorite is the album he made with a London Symphony Orchestra in which he arranged, played piano and conducted. Buddy has been honored by his hometown and he was inducted into the Philadelphia Music Alliance's "Walk of Fame". He has also gained acclaim for his musicianship and talent in the "Encyclopedia of Great Musicians" and the "Encyclopedia of Great Jazz Singers and Musicians".

Fifty years after he worked for Benny Goodman, he toured with the "Salute to The Benny Goodman Band", only this time to star, headline and conduct. The tour took him to 72 cities and 72 unforgettable shows which drew standing ovations to capacity crowds. He brought the house down when he recently appeared at Carnegie Hall in "An Evening with Nat King Cole", a tribute to a dear friend. He has been a Las Vegas favorite, from the first performance in 1950 with Goodman, through the swinging 60's with The Rat Pack, to the present day, he has been performing to capacity crowds. He is currently producing a nationally syndicated live radio show, "VEGAS LIVE TONITE!" The show recreates the glamorous old Vegas, promotes current shows in Vegas and his 13-piece swing band, and plenty of celebrity guests. He is also producing the stage production, "FEVER, A Tribute to Peggy Lee", starring his wife, singer Lezlie Anders.
