Latin American Favourites from George Meyer

An absolutely fabulous pianist Hungarian György Fejér (1908 - 2001) changed his name to George Feyer after leaving Europe. Classically trained he preferred playing light music as it was called in the day and successfully launched a series of albums titled "Echoes from......" to include Paris, Latin America, Italy, Broadway, Cole Porter, Jerome Kern and many more.

He apparently disliked piano practice as a child, and his mother a music teacher tied his legs to the piano stool! He had a fan in the exiled Duke of Windsor in Paris who enjoyed accordion music. George and his drummer drew straws to figure out which one of them would have to learn to play the accordion and fortunately for George, the drummer lost!
