The Great American Songbook featuring Alva Anderson
The Great American Songbook: A Night of Classic Vocal Jazz
Step into the warm, classic glow of Forte Jazz Lounge for an evening dedicated entirely to the timeless magic of the Great American Songbook. Thursday nights celebrate the iconic composers and legendary vocalists who have defined the sound of American jazz for the past 80+ years—bringing the unforgettable music of Cole Porter, Harold Arlen, George and Ira Gershwin, and Duke Ellington back to the stage. From the velvet styling of Nat King Cole and Ella Fitzgerald to the swinging swagger of Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday, and Bobby Darin, it is a weekly tribute to the golden age of melody.
Tonight's Featured Performer: Joining us this evening is highly accomplished jazz vocalist and beloved local favorite, Alva Anderson. Known for her rich, soulful phrasing and magnetic stage presence, Alva will guide you through a beautifully curated evening of vocal jazz classics from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM. Pull up a seat, order a glass of wine, and let the music transport you.
