Jazz may have its roots in New Orleans but New York City has always been synonymous with the art form that has sometimes been labeled as "America's Classical Music." The Big Apple is as much of a jazz town as New Orleans so this CD, New York, New York: The City in Song, available only through The Metropolitan Museum Of Art, is an entirely appropriate salute to the city that never sleeps. All of the song titles reference America's largest city in some way. The CD is loaded with vintage jazz. Louie, The Duke, and The Count are all here and there is even an Armstrong/Ellington duet on "Drop Me Off In Harlem." Stan Kenton contributed "Stompin' At The Savoy" and Buddy Rich shines on the lengthy "West Side Story Medley." Peggy Lee, Dakota Staton, and Lena Horne all sing their hearts out while The Modern Jazz Quartet, Benny Green, Bud Powell, and George Shearing all show off their instrumental virtuosity.
