KVC-Arts 2/16/25 - Michael Feinstein

By David Fleming
Published February 19, 2025 at 12:07 PM PST

Michael Feinstein has been bringing The Great American Songbook to listeners for decades! So much more, really. He's no stranger to the area, and will be at McCallum Theatre March 1st, with "Because of You: My Tribute to Tony Bennett." On the 2nd, down to San Diego. David Fleming speaks with Michael about Bennett - the music, the stylistic approach, the story telling aspect... We'll also hear about Gershwin, both George and Ira. Feinstein was Ira's assistant for some 6 years and has a few stories. Among those - having uncovered some otherwise lost Gershwin tunes!

    David Fleming speaks with jazz vocalist Jonathan Karrant, focusing mainly on his release, "On and On." The track listing on this disc is QUITE wonderful with a mix of jazz standards - some of which you may only know of as instrumentals. Also some mainstream pop, and just a touch of Sinatra. Now imagine all of these with impeccable arrangements, timing, and delivery with a small-group jazz setting. That's "On and On."More at jonathankarrant.com
