Michael Feinstein: Ella On My Mind
"In Michael Feinstein's final Jazz & Popular Song concert of the season, the multi-platinum selling interpreter of American song will perform classics made famous by Ella Fitzgerald. The "First Lady of Song" was a particularly well-rounded musician, an impeccable singer and endlessly influential improviser. Drawing broadly across the Great American Songbook, she shaped definitive versions of countless tunes written by top composers like Irving Berlin and the Gershwins. Feinstein possesses an incomparable knowledge of this musical canon and an expert ability to interpret its greatest icons. His masterful knowledge combined with Ella's timeless repertoire and the swinging Tedd Firth Big Band will make for an exquisite evening in the unparalleled setting of The Appel Room. Special guest vocalists include the Grammy and Tony Award-winning Jessie Mueller (currently starring in the critically acclaimed Waitress on Broadway; Beautiful: The Carole King Musical); Vuyo Sotashe, a Jazz at Lincoln Center favorite and 2015 finalist in the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Vocal Competition; and Nicole Henry – “this generation’s First Lady of Jazz.” (Huffington Post)"
