With this project, the independent record label Velut Luna continues to assert its role as an Italian leader in the production of albums featuring great female jazz and blues performers, Velut Luna's Sophisticated Ladies. Cheryl Porter is one of the few true great jazz voices of today. Authoritative international critics have described her as an interpreter capable of combining the great class of Sarah Vaughan with the versatility and vocal power of Shirley Bassey. In this album, therefore, Cheryl Porter plays the role of an ideal protagonist, capable of guaranteeing the interpretive authority necessary to succeed in the ambitious aim of recreating the atmospheres and sounds of the great jazz albums with orchestra produced by Capitol Records and Columbia between the late 50s and early 60s: unforgettable pieces from the American songbook, such as Bewitched, You've changed, You don't know what love is, Smile, Someone to watch over me, and many others find in this album the original groove and passion that made them immortal pages of 20th-century musical culture. The original arrangements composed for the occasion by Massimo Parente are fundamental to achieving the result. To recreate as much as possible the unique and original sound of Capitol records, the recording was made strictly live over two days in the large Auditorium Pollini in Padua, skillfully mixing the most sophisticated digital technology available today with "vintage" microphones and analog tube stages.
