Ralph Sharon - The Essential Collection: The Magic Of Porter & Kern - Music & Performance - CD

(2-CD set) Born in London in 1926, the legendary pianist, arranger and band leader Ralph Sharon is arguably one of the great unsung heroes of British popular music. On these delightful recordings Ralph is joined for the first time in 40 years by old sparring partners Jack Parnell on drums and Lennie Bush on bass to pay tribute to some of the greatest songwriters America has ever produced. All three musicians play as if they had just left off all those years before as they tip their hats to the music of Cole Porter and Jerome Kern, offering us music of the very highest standard. This replaces AVD 713 & 716.
