“PORGY AND BESS” – the jazz opera by GEORGE GERSHWIN with lyrics by his brother IRA and DUBOSE HEYWARD is truly a corner stone of jazz. The moving love story of crippled Porgy and the drug-afflicted Bess, originally recorded by ELLA FITZGERALD and LOUIS ARMSTRONG, is one of the standards of modern music and contains classics like “SUMMERTIME”, “I GOT PLENTY O’NUTTIN'”, “IT AIN’T NECESSARILY SO” und and many more.
“THE MUSIC OF PORGY AND BESS” is a CD with original tracks from 1956 which launches our new series “THE CORNERSTONES OF JAZZ” – at an unbeatable price as usual!
