i’ve been listening to some concerts by male jazz singers, including (in the order that i’m playing them): frank sinatra (1958), seth mcfarland (2015), mose allison (1983), gregory porter (2011), john pizzarelli (2010), the amazing jimmy scott (2004), mel torme (1991, with george shearing on piano), nat king cole (1944), ray charles (1961), tony bennett (2008)… a number of those are “well, of course“, but i don’t have that much of some of these artists (only have the 1 sinatra show, for example, but it’s pretty good alright!).
anyway, it seemed a good time to share some of those shows here. let’s start with gregory porter at duc lombards in paris.
