When pianist Andre Previn left the Contemporary label at the end of the 1950s, he moved to Columbia where one of his first projects was Give My Regards to Broadway. It's a trio effort with bassist Red Mitchell and drummer Frank Capp and they run through 10 standards from Broadway musicals, including Almost Like Being in Love from Brigadoon (1947). The MP3 is taken from a cassette copy of the album.
Almost Like Being in Love
Give My Regards to Broadway is widely available on CD on the Collectables label (recommended) and via digital downloads on the Hallmark label. Beware of possible quality issues with the downloads if you're a stickler for pristine sound: Hallmark albums are often dubbed from vinyl.
And here's the title song from Give My Regards to Broadway, with a nice retro touch of a spinning turntable, from YouTube.
