As part of the extraordinary winter concerts of the XXVI International Jazz and Blues Festival, the music of Cole Porter, one of the great jazz composers will be presented this Friday, February 28th at 7:00 pm in the Bellas Artes Auditorium, Hernandez Macias # 75, Centro.
Porter began violin study at the age of six and piano at eight; he composed an operetta in the style of Gilbert and Sullivan at 10 and saw his the first composition, a waltz, published a year later. As a student at Yale University (B.A., 1913), he composed about 300 songs. In 1928 Porter composed several songs for the Broadway success Paris, and this led to a string of hit musical comedies. Over the years, Porter wrote such glittering songs and lyrics as “Night and Day,” “I Get a Kick Out of You,” “Begin the Beguine,” “I’ve Got You Under My Skin,” “In the Still of the Night,” “Just One of Those Things,” “Love for Sale,” “My Heart Belongs to Daddy,” “Too Darn Hot,” “It’s Delovely,” “I Concentrate on You,” “Always True to You in My Fashion,” and “I Love Paris.” He was especially adept at the catalog song, his best-known efforts being “Let’s Do It” and “You’re the Top.”
