Absolutely dig Cole Porter. Probably my greatest, (not so) secret indulgence.And damn if he didn't translate well to the jazz idiom.
This is one of my favorites and honestly, I'm gonna let the tunes speak for themselves without my purple prose.

Nice one. Thank you.
Thanks for the invite! It sounds like a good place to bone up on my Cole Porter. I know the dozen or so recognizable (to me) standards but not much beyond that.
Hello, just discovered your blog...wow! What a treasure chest! Thanks for all the effort to make these gems available. I, too, was raised on vinyl and miss that warm sound (yes, and even the clicks & pops, which seem to define the space of the music, like clouds in the sky).
Regarding this album, great performances!
However, the identities of tracks 4 and 8 are reversed (mistake by the manufacturer?). Gryce=Love For Sale is #4, Jaspar=All Of You is #8.
Thanks again from a Pittsburgh ex-pat living in Tokyo!
Thanks HGs ... What a treat to hear CPorter jazzed ... WDeParis did it a good job too ... Baron VB
Edo - The track listing is different on the lp and the sleeve, never even noticed it. Nice catch!
