Sunday Supper and Jazz With Robert Redd and Sue Matthews

“Intimate Jazz” Great American Songbook Series with Sue Matthews & Robert Redd.

In this installment of the “Great American Songbook Series”, Matthews, along and Robert Redd on piano, will bring to life the music of composer Harold Arlen whose classic melodies are a major part of The Great American Songbook.

Arlen wrote the music to many of the most memorable songs from the 1930’s to the 1950’s, including the entire score to the classic movie, The Wizard of Oz (with lyrics by E.Y. “Yip” Harburg) which included the timeless standard “Over the Rainbow.” Arlen also wrote the music for such benchmark songs such as “Get Happy,” “Stormy Weather,” “It’s Only a Paper Moon,” “Blues in the Night”, “I’ve Got the World on a String” and “The Man That Got Away”. In addition to Harburg, he worked with lyricists like Ted Koehler, Ira Gershwin and Johnny Mercer”
