Peter Sprague: Planet Cole Porter
Rancho Mirage Library and Observatory 71100 Highway 111, Rancho Mirage, CA, United StatesGuitarist Peter Sprague takes Cole Porter’s classic songs and presents them in a new color of samba, funk, salsa, and jazz. Come hear fresh and inventive arrangements such as "Just One of Those Things", which swings fast. Morphing over to funk, "Love for Sale" takes a trip to Cuba, while "Night and Day" arcs with a Brazilian moon. Meanwhile, "I Get a Kick Out of You" is heavily influenced by Eddie Harris’ Freedom Jazz Dance, and "Every Time We Say Goodbye" is as nice and gentle as Cole intended it to be.
