I first encountered his work when I was a child, listening to the Ella Fitzgerald double LP THE RODGERS AND HART songbook, and he's been a welcome presence in my musical lfe ever since.

My first encounter, too. I look forward to discovering more beyond the Fitzgerald Cole Porter that I own. And I'm sorry he's gone now.
A great album, still available on CD. And he cut tracks with Fred Astaire, available on a rare CD. And Kritzerland, among others, has released some of his film scores. Hey, in my first post I only mentioned where I got started with him, but as I said, he's been with me my whole life.
Bregman also knocked me over when I saw his picture for the first time, in a book documenting early TV shows (he hosted something called THE MUSIC SHOP, apparently).
