Comment
An eclectic variety of artists gather at Air studios in London to perform their interpretations of the classic and timeless songs of the Great American Songbook. Among those performing are Paolo Nutini, Melody Gardot, Claire Martin, Sharleen Spiteri, Gwyneth Herbert, Jose James and Krystle Warren.
The Great American Songbook BBC Four Session is a celebration of the music and popular songs of famous and prolific American composers from the Twenties onwards.
Composers such as Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, Johnny Mercer, Harold Arlen, Rogers and Hammerstein and Hoagy Carmichael wrote the tunes for Broadway theatre and Hollywood musicals that earned enduring popularity before the dawning of rock 'n' roll.
These famous songwriters penned songs, best described as "standards", which have entered the general consciousness. Tunes that every musician and singer aspires to include in their repertoire, such as Over The Rainbow, Cheek To Cheek, Bye Bye Blackbird, Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye, Lush Life, That Old Black Magic and The Lady Is A Tramp can all be heard tonight.
