  • Double Play! is a 1957 jazz album featuring pianists Russ Freeman and André Previn.

    It was recorded and released in 1957 on Contemporary Records, and re-released and remastered in 1993 on Original Jazz Classics.

    Together with drummer Shelly Manne, the album, as its title suggests, includes eight baseball-themed original compositions by Freeman and Previn along with the standard "Take Me Out to the Ball Game". (The rather risque-by-1950s-standards album cover features a model wearing a Hollywood Stars cap.) The album was advertised at the time as the first time that two pianists recorded "modern jazz" together.

    The Penguin Guide to Jazz suggested that the album was the best of Previn's early releases, being "the most uncomplicatedly jazz-driven"
