Morton Gould - Kern / Porter Favorites

The work of composers Jerome Kern and Cole Porter are given a tasteful orchestral pop makeover by Morton Gould and his orchestra. Recorded at Manhattan Center around 1957-1958 and re-released after Gould's death in 1996, "Kern/Porter Favorites" is of its time in style and approach yet still holds up well today. Standout tracks for are the Kern compositions "Jockey On The Carousel" and "I Dream Too Much" both from the 1936 film "I Dream Too Much". Relaxing sounds for a sunny afternoon. Enjoy!
