Porgy And Bess by Diahann Carroll And The André Previn Trio, released on United Artists in 1959.

Soho The Dog wrote:

Diahann Carroll had played Clara in Goldwyn’s Porgy but, at Goldwyn’s behest, her singing was dubbed by soprano Loulie Jean Norman, which must have been a real insult to a singer of Carroll’s caliber. As Previn scholar Frédéric Döhl has noted, Goldwyn’s reverence for the material, both asserted from within and imposed from without, led him to fill the soundtrack with classical singers in order, as Döhl puts it, to “orient the aesthetic emphasis of the sound towards opera.” That might be why Carroll and producer Jack Lewis wanted to tilt away from the source toward jazz. With Previn’s trio... it’s much as one might imagine a “modern jazz interpretations of” Porgy and Bess...
