Cole Porter was one of the most important songwriters of the 20th Century. This 2004 disc is a fun and upbeat collection of classic renditions of Porter's songs. Many of the greatest American Songbook crooners are featured here. Among them, we hear Ella Fitzgerald, Dean Martin, Judy Garland, Nat King Cole, Sammy Davis, Jr., and others. Many essential Porter gems are presented, including the sprightly "Just One of Those Things," the sensual "Night and Day," the cutesy "It's De-Lovely," and the haunting "Every Time We Say Goodbye." This album sparkles and shimmers with hard-swinging performances by the finest singers in jazz. Moreover, each vocalist is backed by sizzling-hot orchestral arrangements from Count Basie, Duke Ellington, and others.
