Porgy & Bess stands as one of George Gershwin's greatest compositions. Add lyricists Ira Gershwin and Edwin DuBose Heyward, and George has a masterpiece. The 'Overture' is one of the most memorable orchestrations; as it is both melancholy and nostalgic. The classic 'Summertime' not only features the wonderful vocals of Ella & Louis, but also includes Louis playing some of the most moving trumpet playing I've ever heard. 'I Wants To Stay Here', 'My Man's Gone Now', 'I Got Plenty Of Nothin', 'Bess, You Is My Woman Now', 'There's a Boat Dat's Leavin' Soon for New York', 'It Ain't Necessarily So' are all concert favourites that Ella & Louis really do justice to, with the excellent arrangements of Russ Garcia.
