Timeless: a word that is far too often applied to anything and everything; but when it comes to The Great American Songbook, it is perfectly appropriate! The many standard swinging jazz numbers composed between the 1920s and the ‘50s by great masters like Cole Porter, Jerome Kern or the Rodgers & Hart duo, are just that: timeless.

Each and every song has not only unfailingly stood the test of time, but has gained in lustre with each new interpretation.
