The Great American Songbook forms the repertoire of much of jazz, and the “Big Five” are responsible for a great deal of that iconic music: George and Ira Gershwin, Rodgers and Hart, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin and Jerome Kern. And who knows? Perhaps we’ll throw in a little Harold Arlen or Johnny Mercer to round things out. Join us for a celebration of these influential songwriters with jazz performances from the likes of Artie Shaw, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Sarah Vaughan, Chet Baker, Bill Evans and others.
