About this album
Porgy and Bess is a landmark 1959 soundtrack that helped bring George Gershwin’s opera into the mainstream through jazz and pop phrasing. Issued under Samuel Goldwyn’s name, the album draws on the score’s most enduring material, including Summertime, It Ain’t Necessarily So and I Got Plenty O’ Nuttin’, while preserving the dramatic sweep of the original stage work. Its blend of Broadway polish, popular-song immediacy and jazz-inflected performance made the music feel newly accessible, and the recording remains an important bridge between opera, musical theatre and mid-century popular listening.
