Irving Fields is the author of hit songs like “Miami Beach Rhumba” and “Managua, Nicaragua.”  As the leader of the Irving Fields Trio, he’s cut dozens of albums, including 1959’s classic “Judeo-Latino” fusion album, Bagels And Bongos.  He’s played concerts everywhere from Carnegie Hall to Indian palaces.  But in New York City, Fields is a legend – the last of the great cocktail pianists who tickled the ivories in bars, nightclubs and hotels in Manhattan during the ‘40s and ‘50s.  At age 94, Irving is still at it, playing piano at Nino’s Tuscany on West 58^th St. six nights a week. In this interview, he talks about his eight decades of playing in New York, from Prohibition to the heyday of the craft bar. Read interview here...
