Cole Porter - Song Book [Platinum Edition] (1998)

Cole Porter remains one of the supreme craftsmen of the Great American Songbook — a composer and lyricist whose wit, sophistication, and melodic invention set him apart from his contemporaries. Where others wrote sentiment, Porter wrote intelligence; where others wrote romance, Porter wrote desire with a raised eyebrow and a perfectly turned phrase.

This Platinum Edition Song Book gathers definitive interpretations of his most celebrated compositions, from the languid sophistication of Night and Day and the breezy swagger of Anything Goes to the wistful elegance of Every Time We Say Goodbye. The performances span the golden era of jazz vocal recording, capturing the era when Porter's songs were the natural currency of the finest singers and orchestras in the world.

An essential addition for collectors of classic American standards, jazz vocal enthusiasts, and anyone with an appreciation for songwriting at its most refined.
