Dreaming of Irving Berlin kicks off the holiday season as Jazz at Lincoln Center American Songbook celebrates perhaps America’s most “American” songwriter.  Featuring acclaimed concert and cabaret star Klea Blackhurst, Broadway's acclaimed Sydney James Harcourt, Simona Dainele and an inter-generational band of all-stars led by music director Ted Rosenthal. Hosted and curated by American Songbook expert Deborah Grace Winer, it’s Songbook Sundays at its most festive, pre-holiday Dizzy’s jazz party, swinging out Berlin classics like Top Hat, White Tie and Tails to Say it Isn’t So, Cheek to Cheek to Shakin’ the Blues Away, Blue Skies and more.  Major support for Songbook Sundays is generously provided by Howard and Eleanor Morgan.
