George Gerswhin, Richard Rodgers, Cole Porter, Irving Berling, Harold Arlen...

[Danny Morali]

...Jerome Kern, Alec Wilder e i grandi della canzone americana. Argomento vastuccio insomma, che sto cominciando a esplorare adesso, ma nel quale ora trovo difficilissimo orientarmi. Insomma anche senza pretese di essere esaustivi (ovviamente?), se mi date una mano su libri di riferimento e dischi/raccolte/interpretazioni essenziali o anche solo molto belle, la cosa è gradita (non mi dispiacerebbe un intervento di Adric che non conosco ma di cui ho molto apprezzato i bellissimi contributi nei topic sul jazz e sulla musica nera)
:)

un po' in ritardo scusa...
grazie mille per il notevole contributo, ne conosco poche di quelle che hai citato ma alcune di quelle sono belle davvero, tipo la summertime di Bechet.
Se hai consigli anche sugli altri, sono graditissimi, anche perchè ho l'impressione che non non ci siano troppi estimatori della canzone americana classica in giro

[pistacchio89]

Ho aggiunto altri brani di Kern :)

[Bossanova]

Qualcosa di Miles Davis?

[pistacchio89]

Qualcosa di Miles Davis?

Qualcosina c'è già, quando si arriverà a Porter e soprattutto Rodgers ci saranno molti più brani suonati da Davis. ;)

Se ti piace Cole Porter, ho appena scoperto una brava cantante italiana che ha reinterpretato le sue canzoni: si chiama Francesca Ajmar, e il disco è Everything we love (http://www.radiosnj.com/radiosnj-records/musica/radiosnj-records-etichetta-discografica/francesca-ajmar-everything-we-love.html). Prova a darci una occhiata ;)
