Soak in the sounds of the velvety melodies and smoky rhythms of quintessential crooners such as Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, and Bobby Darin when the golden age of jazz returns with Great American Crooners! A dazzling night of swoon worthy hits and sentimental serenades await when Benny Benack III (Downbeat Magazine #1 Rising Star), Robbie Lee and Shenel Johns perform favorites like “The Way You Look Tonight,” “I Can't Give You Anything But Love,” “L-O-V-E,” and many, many more. In addition to soaring vocals, the trio of Jazz at Lincoln Center (JALC) favorites will share incredible true stories about the legendary performers who brought these timeless songs to life.

He may be young—only at the tail end of his twenties, believe it or not—but he seriously has his act together in every way, shape and form, as this album proves.
