Jazz Bakery Benefit: Alan Bergman + Tierney Sutton Sing the Songs of Alan + Marilyn Bergman

Event hosted by KPCC Radio personality Larry Mantle

Flash! Amazing flutist Hubert Laws has been added to this show as a special guest!

The Oscar winning songs of Alan and Marilyn Bergman have been enriching the Great American Songbook for over five decades. As lyricists for film, stage, and television they have created unforgettable images... and along the way have enriched the repertoire of every major vocalist !

Alan Bergman’s singing has now garnered well earned praise... NY Times: “Mr. Bergman’s natural style suggests a merger of two of his idols, Johnny Mercer and Fred Astaire.”... JazzIs: “It would be hard to imagine anyone who could bring every phrase, every subtle nuance, every internal rhyme, every sly, inside joke, to life the way Bergman does.”

Tierney Sutton was chosen by Clint Eastwood to write the lyrics to the end-title song “Flying Home” for the 2016 box-office smash, “Sully.” Tierney is known for her impeccable voice and imaginative treatments of The American Songbook. She is heralded for her jazz storytelling and ability to use her voice as an instrument.

We are incredibly lucky to have artists like Alan, Marilyn and Tierney as friends and supporters. Please join us for an intimate evening of songs to benefit the 2017 Jazz Bakery Performance Fund. We eagerly look forward to your participation in sustaining the programing you love.
