Porgy & Bess is the opera by the US-American composer George Gershwin, and tells the story of Porgy, a disabled black street-beggar living in the slums of Charleston. It deals with his attempts to rescue Bess from the clutches of Crown, her violent and possessive lover, and Sportin' Life, her drug dealer. Porgy & Bess was first performed in Boston on September 30, 1935. It was adapted as a film in 1959. Some of the songs in the opera, such as "Summertime" and "It Ain't Necessarily So", became popular and frequently recorded songs. The Jazzy Side Of Porgy & Bess presents crucial recordings by the biggest names and finest artists in jazz like Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone, Diahann Carroll, Miles Davis & Gil Evans, Oscar Peterson, Louis Armstrong, André Previn, Sammy Davis Jr., Bill Potts, Grant Green, and more in an over 72 minutes adventure not to be missed!
