Hey everyone. I'd like you all to know that the website for the Cole Porter Sessions is now online. It introduces a box set of 5 CDs (82 tracks) with music of early 20th century Broadway composer Cole Porter.
http://coleportersessions.com/
I highly recommend checking out the tracklists, where you can listen to a 15 to 30 second sample for each song. These albums feature two world première recordings as well as about twenty songs that haven't been recorded in about thirty years, and many that have never been recorded properly.
The CD is due to release next month, so this is just an appetizer. Also upcoming is a complete Timeline of Cole Porter songs (over 200) with a live recording linked to each one.
There is a lot more to browse; the site features some photos from Cole's life that can't be found online anywhere else, a biography and chronology by renowned Porter expert Robert Kimball, biographies and other media featuring the performers etc.
I invite you to join us on our new facebook page at

where you'll be updated regularly when new interesting content is added to the site.
I hope you enjoy this tribute to 'the master of sophisticated song'. Either way, in these early stages I'd happily welcome your support. So, please, join me on the facebook page. It'd mean a lot to me!
Love,
Simon
