Legends of Jazz with Ramsey Lewis - The American Songbook (with Jane Monheit & John Pizzarelli. Season One, 2006 ep. 08)
From the 1930s to the 1950s, American songwriters created an unequaled body of work we call The American Songbook. Many of these tunes have become our "standards" and they are linked forever to the jazz and pop singers who gave them life. Guitarist/vocalist John Pizzarelli and top jazz singer Jane Monheit talk with Ramsey Lewis about what jazz has taken from (and given to) the great American popular song composers, from Irving Berlin to Gershwin and beyond. John Pizzarelli and Jane Monheit sing both separately and in duet to demonstrate why they are so well loved as are the songs they perform ... and why this great music continues.
