Many jazz arrangers have found the epic folk opera's thematic material fertile ground for embellishment and reinvention. Masters' \"in and out\" approach recasts the music while retaining it's substance. He used the original vocal score which has no chord changes, freeing him to some extent harmonically. Masters' efforts are aided immeasurably by an ensemble of superb musicians who not only play the notes but convey the spirit. He has succeeded in bringing his own concept to these familiar pieces. Features soloists Billy Harper, Tim Hagens, Gary Smulyan and others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Introduction \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Summertime \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Woman Is a Sometime Thing \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Gone, Gone, Gone \u003cbr\u003e1.5 My Man's Gone Now \u003cbr\u003e1.6 It Ain't Necessarily So \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Here Comes de Honey Man \u003cbr\u003e1.8 I Loves You Porgy \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Red Headed Woman \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Clara, Clara \u003cbr\u003e1.11 There's a Boat Dat's Leavin' Soon for New York\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudio Sample:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n                                           \u003ci\u003eAll soundclips are provided by Tidal and are for illustrative purposes only.
