The Jazz Soul Of Porgy & Bess



BILL POTTS
The Jazz Soul Of Porgy & Bess
Summertime

Bill Potts’ The Jazz Soul of Porgy and Bess is indeed a classic. Bill Potts and His Orchestra. Recorded in January this in 1959 for United Artists and produced by Jack Lewis (our Jazz Workshop friend), Potts broke free of the score's traditional constraints and added enormous inventiveness, punch and swing.
Art Farmer, Harry "Sweets" Edison, Bernie Glow, Marky Markowitz and Charlie Shavers (tp), Bob Brookmeyer (v-tb), Frank Rehak, Jimmy Cleveland, Earl Swope and Rod Levitt (tb), Gene Quill and Phil Woods (as), Zoot Sims and Al Cohn (ts), Sol Schlinger (bar), Bill Evans (p), Herbie Powell (g), George Duvivier (b) and Charlie Persip (d).
