Great American Songbook: Words and Music
At NSSC, Morton Grove Location, American Legion Civic Center:
Thomas Harris, Jazz Fan, Teacher, Osher Lifelong Learning
Only two of the great American songwriters of the Golden Age were composers who wrote their own lyrics. Cole Porter adored Irving Berlin but they were as different as different can be. Irving Berlin, an immigrant from a Yiddish speaking home, became the beloved master of the American vernacular. Cole Porter, the scion of a wealthy Indiana family, went to Yale, graduated to Paris and wrote the most sophisticated lyrics ever to grace the Broadway stage and Hollywood musicals. Tom Harris will examine their lives and play music of these geniuses of American music as interpreted by the great pop and jazz singers.
