Raymond Scott

Portofino Variations Raymond Scott

1962 was the year the still beloved **Raymond Scott** composed and recorded *'Portofino'* in many different arrangements. However, no recordings were released until *Basta* did include two versions on *'Manhattan Research, Inc.'* The track became one of Scott's most popular electronic compositions and was recently featured in hit-series Narcos, opened the documentary "Best of Enemies" and underscored a recent Gucci ad campaign. On this album the piece is interpreted by 20 artists, each version uniquely arranged, recorded and produced in an array of styles: Surf guitar, whistling, electronica, hamber ensemble, minimalism, Pop, Rock guitar, and scat vocals. There's even two song versions with original lyrics! Artists include *Metropole Orchestra, Jacco Gardner, Fay Lovsky, JB Meijers, Arling & Cameron* and more.
