by
Various Artists
A fitfully entertaining collection of contemporary pop stars interpreting classic Cole Porter songs, Red Hot + Blue highlights include U2, Sinead O'Connor, Kirsty MacColl & the Pogues, Neneh Cherry, and David Byrne, but the best part of the disc is the wonderfully campy duet between Deborah Harry and Iggy Pop on "Well Did You Evah."

Cole Porter
Contrasts, whether ironic or not, were continually at the heart of Cole Porter's timeless songs, as befits a man who greeted the world as the very definition of a sophisticated New Yorker, but was actually born in Peru, IN. Porter's careful studies of people in love are filled with obsessive characters who express hope but are frightfully ...

Original Soundtrack
The soundtrack to De-Lovely -- a film that imagines the unusual love story and marriage of classic American songwriter Cole Porter (who was gay) and Linda Lee Porter as the kind of all-singing, all-dancing production for which Porter himself might have written the songs -- is a whirl of contrasting, and occasionally clashing, performances that ...

This LP contains six Bill Russo arrangements, five from Stan Kenton, and one by Lennie Niehaus. The repertoire features many songs not associated with Kenton (such as "Sophisticated Lady," "Pennies from Heaven," and "Over the Rainbow"), but the inventive yet melodic treatments certainly sound like the Kenton band.
