Armed with prodigious trumpet talent and vocal charm, Jazz at Lincoln Centre’s Bria Skonberg and Benny Benack III will relive and re-imagine some of the classic partners in jazz and popular song, including Ella Fitzgerald, Judy Garland, Bing Crosby, Dean Martin, and Peggy Lee. Featuring songs by George Gershwin, Duke Ellington, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin and many more. Joined by a who’s who of New York all-stars, this is an “unforgettable” evening of singin’ and swingin'.
