O’s Notes: San Antonio based cornetist Jim Cullum assembles a polished acoustic septet to celebrate Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess in a live stage performance. William Warfield is the featured orator with excerpts that introduce the selections adding color and depth to the performance. Cullum’s team delivers all of the emotional drama from the opera with their vibrant heartfelt instrumentation. This is a unique rendition of a classic that we enjoy over and again!
