Contemporary reception
"COLE PORTER AND ME" -- Eddie Cano And His Sextet -- RCA Victor LPM-1340 (1-12" LP) This is jazz with a Latin leaning. The artist behind this venture is Eddie Cano, a pianist with a love for both the Latin beat and jazz. One side is composed of six Cole Porter items (and of course, Mr. Porter has often made good use of a Latin tempo in many of his melodies) while the flip side contains six jazz-inspired Cano creations. Under the guidance of jazzman Shorty Rogers plus some slick work by the sextet, the gap between the two musical forms has been imaginatively closed. Some pop potential.
