Description
|
|
|
|
This distinctly cross-generational anthology includes socko performances by current and past pop stars, jazz pioneers and legends, cabaret singers, and Hollywood icons. Thus is displayed the enormous range and enduring appeal of songs by the great team of George and Ira Gershwin. The lineup includes Duncan Sheik ("Embraceable You"), Linda Ronstadt ("Someone to Watch Over Me"), Natalie Merchant ("But Not for Me"), Michael Feinstein ("'S Wonderful"), Morcheeba ("Summertime"), Louis Armstrong ("I Got Rhythm"), Bobby Darin ("It Ain't Necessarily So"), Carmen McCrae ("Nice Work if You Can Get It"), Sylvia Sims ("Love Walked In"), and Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers ("Let's Call the Whole Thing Off"). (Please note that this also was a Barnes & Noble Exclusive, and this is noted on back cover.) "The most groove-oriented act in the mid-'90s female-fronted electronica crowd, Morcheeba rely on the sweet, fluid vocals of Skye Edwards and a laid-back mix of fusion, funk, and blues produced by brothers Paul and Ross Godfrey, on beats/scratches and guitar/keyboards, respectively."—All Music Guide
