Collaboration (Shorty Rogers and André Previn album)

Collaboration is an album by jazz trumpeter Shorty Rogers and pianist André Previn, released by RCA Victor in 1955.

[1] Billboard in 1955 praised the sidemen and added: "The boys turn out some mighty listenable jazz and both Rogers and Previn wear their arranging laurels proudly.

"[4] AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow observed: "Shorty Rogers and Andre Previn split the arranging chores in a somewhat competitive fashion.

Rogers arranges a standard and then that is followed by a Previn original based on the same chord structure.

This procedure is followed until the halfway point of the date when they reverse roles.
