Red Hot + Blue: A Tribute to Cole Porter

more music like this
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."

Sonny Rollins
The music on this 1996 CD has been reissued many times, including in the Bluebird series. Tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins' first recording after ending a surprising three-year retirement found the great saxophonist sounding very similar to how he had played in 1959, although he would soon start investigating freer forms. In a pianoless quartet ...

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 ...

by
Bryan Ferry
Bryan Ferry invests considerable time and energy in cover albums (he should, considering that they compose a good portion of his solo catalog), treating them with as much care as a record of original material. He's always found ways to radically reinvent the songs he sings, so it's easy to expect that his collection of pop standards, As Time Goes ...

Let's Misbehave features singer Janice Hagan's jazzy interpretations of some of Broadway's biggest, sassiest songs, including "All That Jazz," "Whatever Lola Wants," and "My Heart Belongs to Daddy."

Laura Fygi
Singer Laura Fygi is in excellent form on this set of bossa novas. Due to the sweetening of a string section and some safe arrangements, the music is quite accessible, if not too challenging. Fygi's voice is lovely and she could excel in a much more sparse setting in the future if given the opportunity. She is ably assisted by a variety of guests, ...

As the repository of the earliest phase of Frank Sinatra's solo career, 1943-1952, Columbia Records is usually thought to be at a disadvantage against the more accomplished work the singer recorded for Capitol Records and his own Reprise imprint.

Nothing shows the fallacy of the furor over Frank Sinatra's Duets release than this CD anthology featuring him doing several Cole Porter numbers originally recorded in the 1950s and '60s. The opening selection, a 1950s rendition of "I've Got You Under My Skin," exposes the farcical 1993 slapstick routine between Sinatra and U2's Bono. This is a ...

At the time, the album market was viewed as being entirely different from the singles market, so these recordings do not feature Como's hit singles of ...
