Canonized by Jazz musicians and music historians alike, the Great American Songbook originated from popular Broadway show tunes and Hollywood musicals. Today the “Songbook” contains some of the most pleasantly sophisticated melody, harmony, and chordal arrangements found in any music from any time period. This evening through performance and discussion we will examine, celebrate, and enjoy the enduring songs of great American composers with four modern Jazz Masters.
