Didn't know of the existence of this till recently when a friend turned me on to it.  Now it's a favorite.

An excellent overview of the songs of Kurt Weill.  The disc kicks off with Louis Armstrong's version of "Mack The Knife" and includes several other jazz or jazz related singers:  Bing Crosby, Lee Wiley, Sarah Vaughan, June Christy, Lena Horne, Tony Bennett.  Even Benny Goodman shares the vocal chores on "Jenny" with Helen Forrest.  The lyricists who worked with Mr. Weill are quite an impressive group:  Bertholt Brecht, Ira Gershwin, Alan Jay Lerner, Ogden Nash, Langston Hughes and Maxwell Anderson.
