ANDRE PREVIN escaped the horrors of the Hitler regime-but he failed to buck
British red tape. That's the grim truth behind the Jackboot kick In the
!ace Previn received on his !l.rst visit to Britain. And a honeymoon visit at that. A honeymoon trip that brought not a bouquet ol welcome, but a harsh refusal of a workln;J permit that, ll granted. could have brought pleasure w millions and maybe work !or Brlt!Sh musicians.
And the irony 1.s that. l! Previn could sl11g, he might still ha.ve been allowed to appear on that one-sPQt on Granada TV.
But he Just plays piano-brill!nntl;•. And because he happens to play jAl.Z.. that red tape bound him ia an inexorable web from which t.here 1s no escape.
JC Previn had been classified as an entertainer, he wou!d have
