Live footage from the Montreal Jazz Festival this Paul Anka DVD includes lots of material from his 2005 release "Rock Swings." This is fun music, this is music to drink cocktails to, and this was an outstanding performance captured on film!
Beginning his career by entering amateur contests and sneaking into clubs, Paul Anka has gone on to become one of the most prolific, successful songwriters in history. This year marks his 47th Anniversary in show business, which he celebrated with the June 7th Global release of his latest album, "Rock Swings." It is a concept that takes rock hits from the 80's and adds swing arrangements to them in order to give them a completely different, and fresh sound. Songs like "Black Hole Sun" by Soundgarden, "Smells like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana, and "It's My Life" by Bon Jovi.
