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.
