Step into the golden age of jazz as Jazz at Lincoln Center Presents Sing and Swing – celebrating the Great American Songbook, packed with timeless style, charm and rhythm.

Benny Benack III brings the golden era of jazz to life in a spectacular evening that reimagines the legendary musical partnerships of the 20th century. This concert celebrates the timeless magic of the Great American Songbook, featuring iconic songs by Gershwin, Ellington, Cole Porter, and Irving Berlin that have defined generations of American music.
