VA – Jazz Loves Bernstein (2018) [FLAC 24bit/44,1kHz]

No need to go back to the various faces displayed by Leonard Bernstein, conductor, composer, educator, presenter, writer, etc. Like Gershwin, Bernstein has tackled all musical genres and has also influenced them himself! To the point that his music has become some sort of American soundtrack, from Broadway to pop to jazz. Talking about jazz. In the middle of the celebration of Bernstein’s centenary, the label Decca offers to compile the love of the greatest musicians and singers of yesterday and today for the art of the author of West Side Story. The interest of this Jazz Loves Bernsteinmostly lies in the gathering of classics and less-known pieces. From Billie Holliday in Big Stuff (from Fancy Free) to Diana Krall and Mark Whitfield for Some Other Time (from the musical On the Town), the spectrum is quite large. You will find here gems such as Tonightfrom West Side Story performed with much warmth by Billy Eckstine, or, from the same work, Maria and I Feel Pretty magnified by Sarah Vaughan. Other big names like Oliver Nelson, Oscar Peterson in trio, Bobby Scott, Eric Reed, Mel Tormé, Carmen McRae, Bill Charlap, Maynard Ferguson and Bob James cover in their own way songs and themes that have entered the American Heritage to appropriate them. Just like Lucky To Be Me, performed by Swedish singer Monica Zetterlund helped by pianist Bill Evans. – Marc Zisman
