Let's make this birthday one to remember.

77 years old (Born on December 04, 1947)

Happy Birthday, Andy LaVerne! You've tickled the ivories alongside legends like Frank Sinatra and Neil Sedaka—clearly, your fingers have danced across more keys than most of us have candles on our cakes. Your timeless jazz melodies continue to inspire generations, proving that great music never goes out of style.

Here's wishing you another year filled with smooth rhythms, spontaneous improvisations, and perhaps fewer requests for "Fly Me to the Moon" at parties. Keep swinging and grooving—after all these years collaborating with musical royalty, you've certainly earned your own throne in jazz history. Cheers to many more harmonious adventures!
