In ’58, Astaire won nine Emmys for what Newsweek called "one of TV’s finest hours": his special An Evening with Fred Astaire. Astaire returned to the tube in ’59 with Another Evening with Fred Astaire and in ’60 with Astaire Time, revisiting his hits and welcoming special guests. Now, for the first time in the CD era, the soundtracks to those celebrated specials are being made widely available, expanded here with eight highly desirable bonus tracks. From the specials come Astaire’s performances of Change Partners; That Face, and medleys including Lady Be Good; Cheek to Cheek; A Fine Romance; A Foggy Day; Fascinating Rhythm; Funny Face; Easter Parade, and more, plus guests Joe Williams and bands led by Count Basie, Jonah Jones and David Rose. 2 CDs.
