About

Around the time The King’s Singers were starting up, one of the most productive periods of song-writing in history was coming to a close in America, starting with composers such as Gershwin, Kern, Berlin and Porter in the early 1920s, and continuing through to the early 1960s: a body of work was slowly built up that unofficially gained the title 'The Great American Songbook'.

The King’s Singers bring their own unique performance style to this wonderful music on this new 2CD studio recording, featuring brand new a cappella arrangements by jazz composer and arranger Alexander L’Estrange, and swing-orchestra performances with the South Jutland Symphony Orchestra.
