What is the term ‘American Song book’ refer to?
Someone told me that the ‘American Song book’ music is making a comeback. Can someone let me know what ‘American songbook’ means. Is the music good and worth listening to? What are some CD’s I might get with a good sample of the music.
Mostly the songs written by Cole Porter, the Gershwins, Jule Styne, Jimmy Van Husen and Sammy Cahn, Hoagy Carmichael and Johnny Mercer.
Get ‘Classic Sinatra’ or ‘The Best of the Capitol Years’ by Frank Sinatra. Both contain 20 excellent examples sung by the master.
Don’t bother with Rod Stewart’s butchering of these songs!
