Jam Session Hommage à Cole Porter

American composer and lyricist, author of some of the most famous musicals of the American scene created on Broadway, Cole Porter found success thanks to his subtle and witty lyrics often playing on innuendo, and his music with forms and with complex rhythms. Many of his creations are among the most famous of the great American repertoire of song and great jazz standards. Very early on, his melodies were taken up by crooners and jazz musicians. Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong and Charlie Parker are among them. The recent successful returns of 'Kiss Me Kate' and 'Anything Goes' confirm that Cole Porter's successful cocktail of musical and jazz remains as tasty as ever.
