Kim Richardson sings Cole Porter

Ella Fitzgerald didn't merely interpret the Great American Songbook—she defined it. Her Songbook series, recorded between 1956 and 1964, remain the absolute benchmark. The ONJ continues its own journey through that legacy. For this fourth installment, it welcomes back Kim Richardson—one of the most powerful and nuanced voices on the Canadian scene—for a second consecutive year. After Duke Ellington, she now takes on Cole Porter: formidable sophistication, wit and melancholy in the same phrase. Anything Goes, Night and Day, I've Got You Under My Skin, Every Time We Say Goodbye—songs that haven't aged a day, and have never stopped speaking about desire and loss.
