Enrique Villegas - Porgy & Bess - Import CD

Description:

Argentine jazz legend Enrique Mono Villegas featured the music of Porgy & Bess in this 1968 work. The album features two takes of songs from George Gershwin's classic opera, "Porgy & Bess," identical in content with the exception of one song. (The LP was divided into Side A and Side B.) It is very ambitious and challenging to perform a medley of solo piano pieces without interruption, and it is fun to listen to the two takes and compare them. It is a very ambitious and challenging work, and it is fun to compare the two takes. This is a great jazz solo piano album that deserves more attention.
