As someone who briefly played the clarinet and almost wishes to return to it, listening to Buddy DeFranco this evening has been pure delight. Further, as a fan of "I Loves You, Porgy," it has been nothing short of beautiful to come across a recording from Buddy DeFranco. He brings to mind a more modern Benny Goodman in his tone and style.

I Loves You, Porgy
One of my favorite recordings of a personal favorite, "I Loves You, Porgy." Fitzgerald's perfect voice enhances this haunting melody, pushing it in different directions than the instrumental recordings I usually listen to. Listening to Ella sing the standards has been my thing for the last week or two now...so much to learn.
