    About this album

    Cleo Laine and Ray Charles bring unusual force and character to Gershwin’s Porgy & Bess, turning the stage classic into a striking jazz-vocal album. Their 1976 collaboration pairs Laine’s supple range with Charles’s earthy phrasing, giving familiar numbers fresh dramatic weight while keeping the score’s blues, gospel and Broadway roots intact. The result is less a straight cast recording than a richly personalised interpretation of one of American music’s most enduring works. For listeners drawn to crossover projects that treat the repertoire with both respect and individuality, this remains a distinctive reading of a landmark musical.
