I absolutely love this CD

A friend at work had this CD and offered it to me to listen to on a particularly stressful day. I loved it! I ordered this one and two others by Beegie Adair and play them all the time at home. I play them as background music and I've actually had friends for dinner who have inquired as to what CDs they were because they enjoyed them so much. I then ordered five more of the Love, Elvis CD to give as Christmas gifts!!!

Beegie Adair___whoever thought she could do Elvis' music so beautifully

I almost hesitated to order this album. I had several albums by Beegie, and loved them all. But I just couldn't see how she could do Elvis' music. To my surprise, this is my favorite album. I have listened to it so many times, and it is as if it's the first time, every time. This is a must have.

Most enjoyable

I was surprisingly pleased with this disc, not being an avid Elvis Presley fan. It does not have the more intricate jazz that I like so much on Beegee's Sentimental Journey set. However, it is still very enjoyable music.

Definitely among the short list of great jazz pianists

Reading through some other comments, I'd like to throw in my own three cents. Beegie Adair should indeed be considered among the short list of great jazz pianists. Her recordings are one thing. Here LIVE PERFORMANCES are quite another.
On Love Elvis, Beegie Adair and her trio present the great romantic songs of Elvis Presley in a, yes, "romantic" and "easy on the ears" format. Intentionally created for dinners, candlelight moments, and those oh-so-grand times of canoodling with your heartmate. Few people can make Elvis covers listenable, and Adair's success at doing so is proven by the fact that this project has sold nearly 10 times what a "typical" jazz record sells....and it continues to sell.
This in no way dismisses her from inclusion among Bill Evans, George Shearing, Erroll Garner, Oscar Peterson, Tommy Flanagan, Gene Harris, et al. Still a sceptic? Go see her live concerts. I've attended dozens of them, and I have every single recording she has made (23 to date).
Again, her recordings are great, no doubt. Her live performances are beyond great. Hear for yourself.

I was skeptical about this one. Playing Elvis songs on piano? But it turned out great. Beegie makes it her own. Soft and classy. Must have!
