Jazz at Lincoln Center presents: Great American Crooners
Soak in the sounds of the velvety melodies and smoky rhythms of incomparable vocalists like Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, and Bobby Darin, when Jazz at Lincoln Center celebrates the golden age of jazz with a program called Great American Crooners.
Three remarkable young singers – Benny Benack III (Downbeat Magazine #1 Rising Star), Robbie Lee, and Shenel Johns – perform favorites like “I’ve Got You Under My Skin,” “Misty,” “I Only Have Eyes for You,” and “Moon River.” Expect a dazzling concert of swoon-worthy hits and sentimental serenades.
