| | Bobby Short You're The Top: Love Songs Of Cole Porter CD Bobby Short Discography of CDs
Bobby Short is to Cole Porter as Joao Gilberto will always be to Jobim, the man most capable of presenting the composer's work in a milieu concordant with the one in which it was created. Both men hail from Indiana, but both journeyed to New ... Full DescriptionYork City to pursue the sophisticate's life through music. Despite the misleading cover text, this album was not recorded at Manhattan's famed Cafe Carlyle, where pianist/singer Short and his trio have reigned supreme for decades, singing Porter and more in a virtual one-man crusade to keep the tradition alive.
Instead of his usual trio, Short is accompanied by the subtly swinging big band of Loren Schoenberg, which adds just the right mix of pageantry and sensuality to Short's performances. As ever, Short's voice is the perfect combination of studied decadence, high-society pomp-and-circumstance, and gracefully jazzy emotional commitment. The pure, high tones that peek through the rough, sandpapery edges of his unique voice are the pearl in the oyster on this albu, which proves that elegance and sophistication are never out of date.
He Covers 15 Cole Porter Songs With 16 Piece Big Band

You're The Top: Love Songs Of Cole Porter CD music
$18.99
The Masters of Music Big Band is a collection of the Detroit area’s best musicians, directed by the area's top Jazz Trombone performer. The band performs arrangements by the finest writers in the industry, and strives to perform in the style of both the writer/arranger, as well as each of the bands for which the arrangements were written. This premiere recording features the arrangers Bill Holman, Don Sebesky, Jeff Tyzik, and Marty Paich, and more. This collection represents the sounds of Maynard Fergusen, Stan Kenton, the Tonight Show Band, and the Count Basie Orchestra, in addition to less familiar bands such as the Matt Catingub Big Band, and the band of Ashley Alexander. This recording also pays tribute to other legends of the big band era such as Glenn Miller, Hoagy Carmichael, and Duke Ellington. We hope you enjoy this greatest hits concept of the big bands, along with the touches of Detroit’s best musicians that uniquely make this the Masters of Music Big Band.Ron Kischuk is a career Detroit musician. He has performed with many legends of jazz, as well as with hundreds of major stars, and has been a featured soloist with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. Ron has performed for both television and movies as well as on grammy winning records. He is a Yamaha clinician and performing artist, and is the leader of both the Masters of Music Big Band and the Tartarsauce Traditional Jazz Band. Ron is the founder of the Masters of Music Studio, a teaching conservatory designed to develop the next generation of professional musicians.In The Mood is considered by many to be the national anthem of big band swing. It spans all generations as the most widely known of the jitterbug songs. This arrangement by Jeff Tyzik for The Tonight Show Band breathes new life into a classic tune. So too, do the sax solos of Pete Kahn and Gene Parker as well as the trumpet chorus of Dwight Adams. Ric Wolkins caps it off with a solo trumpet ride over the top of the band leading to the final push from the band.Stardust is the most popular songs ever recorded. Hoagy Carmichael’s classic was not originally a ballad, and was at first only an instrumental. Adding lyrics and slowing the tune down created one of the biggest hits in music history. This arrangement highlights Dwight Adams taking a short stint on trumpet and Ron Kischuk on trombone.Mira Mira comes direct from the band of Maynard Fergusen. Matt Harris’ Latin number is the perfect vehicle to highlight the rhythm section as well the trumpet of Dwight Adams. The band accompanies Buddy Budson and Marion Hayden through a lively passage leading to the drums of Bob Harsen and a full band finish.Blues And The Abscessed Tooth is a Matt Catingub Big Band original. The son of Mavis Rivers is a gifted saxophonist and arranger, and although this is a blues tune, it is the most difficult arrangement on the CD. The ensemble writing ...
