SUMMARY:Sing & Swing – A Jazz at Lincoln Center Presents Production
DESCRIPTION:For over three decades, Jazz at Lincoln Center has been a leading advocate for jazz, culture, and arts education globally. Under the direction of Wynton Marsalis, Jazz at Lincoln Center has brought the art form of jazz from the heart of New York City to over 446 cities in more than 40 countries.  \nThe Jazz at Lincoln Center presents touring initiative provides an affordable opportunity to present great jazz programming, featuring up-and-coming musicians who have been identified as rising stars by JALC.  The initiative also allows for expansion of the mission of JALC “to entertain, enrich and expand a global community for jazz through performance, education, and advocacy.”   \nAfter the success of JALC Presents Songs We Love tour, this new and highly anticipated touring project from Jazz at Lincoln Center Presents celebrates the Great American Songbook in all of its playful — and sophisticated glory — brought to life by two of this generation’s brightest stars.    \nEach armed with prodigious trumpet talent and vocal charm, Bria and Benny will re-live and re-imagine some of the classic partners in jazz and popular song, including Ella Fitzgerald, Judy Garland and Bing Crosby and Dean Martin and Peggy Lee.  Featuring songs by Gershwin, Ellington, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin and many more and joined by a who’s who of New York all-stars, this is an “unforgettable” evening of singin’ and swingin’ with Bria and Benny.   \nApproximately 150,000 students participate in Jazz at Lincoln Center’s education programs each year.  Let Freedom Swing, from the renowned education department at JALC is being offered in conjunction with the tour.  \nPersonnel \nBria Skonberg: Trumpet, Vocals, Co-Music Director\nBenny Benack III: Trumpet, Vocals, Co-Music Director\nJocelyn Gould: Guitar\nMiki Yamanaka: Piano\nCharles Goold: Drums\nMark Lewandowski: Bass \n
