The Lipscomb University Department of Music will present “The Great American Songbook” on Feb. 16, 2010. The event will feature the vocal music students in a cabaret setting performing Broadway, jazz and popular standards by American composers Hoagland “Hoagy” Carmichael, Edward “Duke” Ellington and Jerome Kern. 

The “Great American Songbook” refers to the music of Broadway, Hollywood and Tin Pan Alley written from the 1920s to the early 1960s. This collection of music includes hundreds of hit songs that have been heard in countless recordings by dozens of artists.

Lipscomb’s Vocal Jazz Ensemble will be featured in several ensemble arrangements, and the vocalists will be accompanied by an instrumental combo of Nashville musicians affiliated with the Lipscomb Department of Music: Gary Wilson, Ike Harris and Chris Nelson.

Pieces slated for the performance include “Georgia on my Mind,” “Star Dust,” “Can’t Help Lovin’ Dat Man,” “The Way You Look Tonight,” “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes,” “Don’t Get Around Much Anymore,” and “It Don’t Mean a Thing if It Ain’t Got That Swing.”
