The Great American Songbook is the trove of music that keeps much of the jazz & cabaret world going. These songs make up a significant piece of our cultural heritage. They are America’s art songs. At least, that is Max Wellman’s view. It is also the inspiration behind a new series of concerts featuring arranger/pianist Nate Sparks as part of Wellman’s quartet. Loosely inspired also by Wynton Marsalis’s series of albums in the ’80s & ’90s of the same name, these concerts will feature new arrangements from month to month highlighting different songs in the canon.
