The toe-tapping, finger-snapping program shines the spotlight on the music of great early 20th century composers, including George Gershwin (Fascinating Rhythm), Irving Berlin (Strike Up The Band), and Scott Joplin (Maple Leaf Rag), that have the timeless melodies and rhythms that continue to lift our spirits today. Joined by the great vocalist Carmen Bradford, Byron creates an inspiring musical portrait of how these songs shaped the Great American Songbook.
