It is amazing that this recording has survived at all. Think how many great programs from the same era in the UK were wiped. For it to be released now is an added bonus. This features the Dudley Moore Trio recorded for ABC TV in Australia in 1971. They play a mixture of Jazz standards, Dudleys own compositions and some of Dudleys finest musical comedy routines. The full list is:
La Nuit s'Epanouit
The More I See You
Chimes
Love Song for an Imaginary Musical
The Look of Love
Madrigal
Moon River
The Swan
Bedazzled
Song For Suzy
Die Flabbergast
Yesterdays
Fanfare
Strictly for the Birds
Goodbyee
The DVD runs to 61mins, is in black and white, but for its age, the sound and picture quality are very good. Dudley is in superb comedic form inbetween the numbers and the Trio perform brilliantly throughout. On first viewing my favourite comedy performance is Dudley's performance of Saint-Saen's 'The Swan'. I'd never seen Dudley perform this before. Of the serious (ish) numbers I've always love 'Strictly for the Birds' and Dudley's tribute to Errol Garner on 'Moon River' is a marvellous performance.
There are no extras with the DVD. However a surprise bonus when I received my copy is that there is an audio CD of the musical numbers (without Dudley's comedy inbetween) which runs to 45 mins.
This is a rare treat both from a musical point of view and a comedy point of view, and if you didn't know already, it will make you realise just how hugely talented Dudley Moore was.

With obvious influences from Erroll Garner and Oscar Peterson as well as classical, this is a charming and unique piece of nostalgia. He may not have the improvisational skill of Erroll and Oscar, but his technique is equally as good and he is a born entertainer. It is refreshing to see good old fashioned camera work, rather than having to endure the tedious gimmicks often used today.

I was quite made-up when I came across this recording. The package comprises a DVD and a companion CD. It is quite a rarity and I enjoyed the DVD very much. Note: this is in Black-and-White - but in no way should this spoil your enjoyment of the unique talents of Dudley Moore.

This is a lovely concert. Dudley is in good form as a piano player and is obviously having a great time. Amazing support from the bass and drums, these guys are top notch. Read more
