This time on The Atomic Age Cocktail Party, we’re tickling the ivories and enjoying some Pleasurable Pianos. We're putting the spotlight on those folks who made some really fun piano music during the lounge and easy-listening era. We’ll hear from Peter Nero, Ferrante & Teicher, Dick Hyman, George Shearing, and many more.
