Synopsis

Product Description
The 1930s and '40s was a period of refined songwriting and the first flowering of the soloist s art in jazz, and this recording is a collection of songs and musicians that represent the best qualities of that era. The composers represented here, Duke Ellington, Johnny Mercer, Rodgers & Hart, the Gershwins and others of lesser fame, define the phrase Great American Songbook. Dawn is accompanied by two musical aggregations, one a conventional swing septet, the other a smaller group reminiscent of the gypsy swing collaborations between guitarist Django Reinhardt and American musicians in the late 30s. The result is a perfect blend between singer and accompaniment. Personnel: Dawn Lambeth, vocals, Clint Baker, guitar, Mike Baird, clarinet and tenor saxophone, Marc Caparone, cornet, Jeff Hamilton, drums, Paul Mehling, guitar, Ray Skjelbred, piano, John Smith, soprano & alto saxophone, Tom Wilson, string bass
