The Great American Songbook

Guest Vocalist: Troy Clarke
All Star Big Band, Jeff Stover, Conductor

One of our favorites, Troy Clarke returns to Temecula's stage with the All Star Big Band to croon some of those great songs by American composers like Jimmy Van Heusen, George Gershwin, Frank Loesser, Cole Porter, Rogers and Hart, and Harold Arlen, among others.

Last season, Troy won the hearts of our audience so we just had to bring him back to cover selections from the best American songs of the 20th century Broadway Theater and Hollywood Musicals (1920 to 1960), including dozens of songs of enduring popularity as sung by Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis, Jr., Matt Monroe, and Tony Bennett.

The Great American Songbook became (and remains) a vital part of the repertoire of jazz musicians, who describe such songs simply as Standards.
