Forbes, who first became known for his performance in "The Flame" in London, has been seen on the American stage playing in "The Doctor's Dilemma" with Katherine Cornell and with Katina Paxinou of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" fame, in "Hedda Gabler...
...apparently Benny has not lost his touch. What he needed was the right conditions. And during the last four years Milt Gabler of the Commodore Music Shop in New York has been providing the right conditions at his recording sessions, which have accordingly produced some of the most beautiful spontaneous music on records today.

Besides his own Echo of Spring, Morning Air, Fading Star, The Lion plays six numbers written by others. Two of these represent him at his very best and worst. On Tea for Two the briskness and sprightliness, as they must occasionally to all improvising pianists, get way out of hand. His sincerest admirers will play oftener the solider, more artfully imaginative passages...
