Inspired by Harlem’s famed musical hot spots like The Cotton Club and The Savoy, this swingin’ night of musical sensations focuses on Harlem’s heyday when Duke Ellington’s orchestra was the house band, and Cab Calloway, Ella Fitzgerald, and Ethel Waters showcased the classics of the Great American Songbook.

The concert will be conducted by Jeff Tyzik and feature trumpeter/vocalist Byron Stripling, vocalist Carmen Bradford, and tap dancer Leo Manzari.
