Jazz pianist Bill Charlap leads his long-standing trio—with Peter Washington on bass and Kenny Washington on drums—at NJPAC for a celebration of Leonard Bernstein’s theatrical music on Saturday, January 29 at 7:30 PM. Among the selections from Bernstein’s works are classics, including “America,” “Lucky To Be Me,” “Some Other Time,” “Glitter and be Gay,” “Somewhere” and “Cool.”
The Bill Charlap Trio Celebrate the Theater Songs of Leonard Bernstein is an edition of NJPAC’s Conversations in Concert series and is hosted by Ted Chapin. The concert will also include stories about the legendary composer-conductor, complemented by Bernstein songs. Bernstein’s daughter, Jamie, will pull back the curtain of her father’s complex persona, sharing intimate moments and childhood memories from her book, Famous Father Girl: A Memoir of Growing Up Bernstein.
