Sublimities: The Cy Walter Centennial Tribute, Volume 2

This set is the indispensable companion piece to Volume 1, focusing on Walter as both accompanist and composer. The roster of guest performers illustrates the respect given to this artist among his peers; they include Hoagy Carmichael, Fred Astaire, Mabel Mercer, Benny Goodman, Marlene Dietrich and Art Tatum. As was the case with Volume 1, the collection brings deserved attention to Walter’s body of work in a 24-page booklet with articles by Michael Feinstein, Peter Mintun, Maggie Perrin and Richard Behrens.
