Around the time the King's Singers was starting up, one of the most productive periods of songwriting in history was coming to a close in America, starting with composers such as Gershwin, Kern, Berlin and Porter in the early 1920's, and continuing through to the early 1960's. This new 2-CD 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 - the King's Singers bring their own unique performance style to this wonderful music.
