PROGRAM
This finger-snapping program shines a spotlight on great composers of the early 20th century, including George Gershwin ("Fascinating Rhythm"), Irving Berlin ("Alexander’s Ragtime Band"), and Isham Jones ("It Had To Be You"). Their tunes hold timeless melodies and rhythms that continue to lift spirits today. Joined on keyboard by Bobby Floyd, member of the Legendary Count Basie Orchestra, and chanteuse Sydney McSweeney, jazz trumpeter Byron Stripling dons two extra hats as conductor and vocalist. The result: an inspiring sonic portrait of how this collection of songs shaped the Great American Songbook.
