Gulf Coast Jazz Collective: Great American Songbook

Summer Jazz

An Evening of the Great American Songbook

Gershwin and Porter, Berlin and Kern, Rodgers and Hart – they wrote melodies so perfectly constructed that jazz musicians have been reinventing them for nearly a century and still haven’t exhausted their possibilities.

The Gulf Coast Jazz Collective, joined by a world-class vocalist, dips into the deepest well in American music for an evening of standards performed with the intimacy and spontaneity that only a live jazz trio can deliver. 

From torch songs to up-tempo swingers, this special tribute to the “Great American Songbook” is a reminder that some songs were simply built to last forever.
