Danish pianist Bent Fabric sole album chart success came with Alley Cat, a collection of piano instrumentals. The Grammy winning title track was a US No. 7 hit single. (US:13)

“Easy listening pianist Bent Fabric raised some eyebrows when he won the Grammy for best rock & roll recording in 1962 with Alley Cat, a pop instrumental that consists, like most of his recordings, of simple one or two finger melodies played on a piano with lean accompaniment that prominently features an electric bass guitar.”

“I used to listen to Bent Fabric as a child (the Alley Cat album). The music is happy and definitely reminds me of simpler times.”

“These instrumental tunes done in an exotica type style are real effervescent jewels of the 60s. It's just great to listen to these whimsical pieces of the 60s tapestry roll out the musical barrel all these years later.”
