This year’s Gala celebrates Tony Bennett’s unique contributions to jazz. Through his dedication to excellence and his insistence on quality, Mr. Bennett became an invaluable keeper of the flame who upheld the elemental virtues and perennial magic the Great American Songbook represents.
The Celebrating Tony Bennett Gala concert features performances anchored by the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis and a roster of special guest artists including vocalists Rubén Blades, Kristin Chenoweth, Norm Lewis, Kurt Elling, Ekep Nkwelle, Robbie Lee and Bernadette Peters; pianist Bill Charlap; and tap dancer Jared Grimes performing songs Mr. Bennett elevated to classics.
