The New American Songbook—Pop/Jazz Music
Take an extraordinary ride through music’s past and present with the songs that have impacted and influenced us all. James Tormé and his All-Star Trio explore a century of American music history, from Duke Ellington’s up-tempo classic Don’t Mean A Thing (If It Ain’t Got That Swing) and Thelonious Monk’s Round Midnight to Stevie Wonder’s unforgettable Superstition and the body-swaying Rock With You, made famous by Michael Jackson. Tormé reminds us that, while time has moved on, a great song is still a great song—no matter when it was written.
