Jazz at Lincoln Center Presents: Songs We Love

Jazz at Lincoln Center Presents features up-and-coming musicians who have been identified as rising stars by JALC. This initiative expands the mission of JALC “to entertain, enrich, and expand a global community for jazz through performance, education, and advocacy.” 

Songs We Love is a journey through the first 50 years of jazz song. Three guest vocalists will join an all-star band made up of New York’s rising stars. Combining their distinct talents, the group will sing their way through four decades of music, beginning with the early blues and jazz of the 1920s through the 1950s. Iconic singers to be explored include Ma Rainey, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, and Judy Garland.
