Well, I was left wanting more from Fred Kaz, so I clicked on the preview button on CD Baby and to my surprise, full songs played. This album is solo piano with him speaking/singing lyrics. I'm not that fond of the vocals but after one tune I started to dig it. I'll listen to the other two albums later. Mark.
PS...not bad for a man with 8 fingers.

Fred Kaz is perhaps most widely known as the longtime musical director for The Second City, where his extraordinary musical talents were for almost 30 years utilized to accent, illustrate and direct the onstage work of the casts of improvisational actors, a considerable number of whom were destined to become luminaries of stage and screen today.
Fred Kaz was a consummate musician. He was playing complex pianoforte pieces at age 3, performing publicly at 13 and earned a degree in classical music and composition while still in his teens. Before the age of 16 he developed what was to become a lifelong passion for jazz, inspired and encouraged by time spent at the Paris Club with the legendary Chicago trumpeter King Kolax from whom Fred learned "The only way to a man's jazz is through his blues" - a haunting truth that was made only too devastatingly clear when a factory accident in Fred's early 20's resulted in the loss of two fingers from his left hand.
