June 2024: Cole Porter’s 133rd Birthday Salute
This month, we celebrate the 133rd birthday of Indiana’s own, Cole Porter. Porter wrote more than 1,000 songs during his career, and, although he wasn’t a jazz composer, almost all of his most popular tunes have been recorded by jazz artists and comprise a significant portion of the Great American Songbook. Our playlist features Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Charlie Parker, Bill Evans, Peggy Lee and many others.
That’s BlueNotes Classic Jazz this Saturday, June 29, at 8pm, only on Indiana Public Radio.
