Peggy Lee
Born:
More than two decades have passed since Peggy Lee sang with Benny Goodman’s swing band and made her first hit recording. Yet so inexhaustible is her talent and so intense her application to her work that, almost a generation later, she stands at the peak of her career. A product of the big-band era, she derived from that apprenticeship her ability to sing anything from jazz to blues, to sing it with a beat, and with enough volume to be heard above the band. Few vocalists have had her staying power. Peggy Lee is also a successful composer, lyricist, arranger, actress, and businesswoman. To all her careers she brings a perfectionism that leaves the stamp of professionalism on everything she touches. Of Norwegian and Swedish ancestry, Peggy Lee was born Norma Deloris Egstrom in Jamestown, North Dakota, a farm town on the Great Plains, on May 26, 1920

Catherine Russell, Sean Mason: My Ideal
by Angelo Leonardi
Un album come questo può nascere solo dall'amore per i tesori nascosti del songbook statunitense. E l'amore vero, si sa, non fa calcoli. Sulla carta è ampiamente controcorrente (o se preferite demodé) e quindi fuori mercato per la sua scelta di escludere quasi completamente brani in grado di sollecitare la memoria del pubblico. L'unico ...
