The Dudley Moore Trio - Today (1972) 24-bit/96kHz Vinyl Rip

During his university years, Dudley Moore took a great interest in jazz and soon became an accomplished jazz pianist and composer. He began working with such leading musicians as John Dankworth and Cleo Laine. In 1960, he left Dankworth's band to work on Beyond the Fringe. During the 1960s he formed the "Dudley Moore Trio" (with drummer Chris Karan and bassists Pete McGurk and later Peter Morgan). Moore's admitted principal musical influences were Oscar Peterson and Erroll Garner. In an interview he recalled the day he finally mastered Garner's unique left hand strum and was so excited that he walked around for several days with his left hand constantly playing that cadence. The trio performed regularly on British television, made numerous recordings and had a long-running residency at Peter Cook's London nightclub, The Establishment. Wikipedia.

Many people are completely unaware of the fact that, in addition to being an accomplished actor, Dudley Moore was also an extremely talented jazz pianist and composer. ‘Today’ released in 1972 is the last studio album by The Dudley Moore Trio. It features both original compositions and cover versions, including a sublime version of ‘The Look of Love’. It has never been released on CD.
