Gogi Grant
Torch Time

Description

Best known for her sweeping 1956 chart-topper ‘The Wayward Wind,’ Gogi Grant was equally at home in the intimate, emotionally charged world of the torch song, and Torch Time showcases that side of her voice to full effect. Across 20 tracks, she brings warmth and aching sincerity to standards drawn from the Great American Songbook, including a deeply felt reading of ‘Summertime,’ the wistful ‘Poor Butterfly,’ and a languid take on ‘Bewitched.’ The breadth of the tracklist — covering Kern, Gershwin, and beyond — makes this CD a compelling portrait of a vocalist who could wear vulnerability and sophistication in equal measure…
