Ute Lemper: the Music of Kurt Weill March 4, 2011

In the 110 years since his birth, Kurt Weill's music has been played by everyone from Louis Armstrong ('Mack the Knife') to Gil Evans ('My Ship'). Ute Lemper, "a foremost interpreter of Weill" (New York Times) along with Warren Wolf on vibes, the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis, and Music Director Ted Nash will show how Weill's songs belong to the jazz world as much as to Broadway, film and the concert hall.
