Description:
One of the most prolific orchestrators in Broadway history, Bennett much preferred to focus on his own creations of a classical bent. For his Seven Postcard to Old Friends, Bennett writes little thank-you notes to the best and brightest of the musical scene - Irving Berlin, Vincent Youmans, Richard Rodgers, Cole Porter, Noel Coward, George Gershwin, and Jerome Kern. Each composer's style peeks through in Bennett's impressions.
