Accentuate the PositiveThe Music That Grew Up with the Greatest GenerationALL AGES Tony DeSare Champian Fulton, Konrad Paszkudzki, Lia Booth, Graham Dechter, Alex Frank, Ryan Shaw It was in 1944 that Bing Crosby made the Johnny Mercer tune, "Accentuate the Positive," a hit in film and on radio. It later became known as one of the songs that got Americans through World War Two. The popular songs of the day, now called the American Songbook, became an unofficial catalogue of music that comforted, inspired, and connected Americans at home and abroad between the 1920s-1940s. On September 16, comedian Dan Cronin hosts an evening of the unforgettable music from the Songbook that kept Americans company for over four transformational decades-- all the recognizable, loved songs that will remind you to accentuate the positive! It's a fantastic line-up including: Dan Cronin (The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien), Tony Desare (Downbeat’s Rising Star Male Vocalist, Carnegie Hall, Birdland), Champian Fulton, (Jazz at Lincoln Center, Ronnie Scotts London), Lia Booth (Monterey Jazz Festival, Vibrato Grill Jazz), and Konrad Paszkduzki (John Pizzarelli Trio, Birdland, NY's Carlyle Hotel) with LA’s young, hip Lineage Trio (Seth McFarlane, Michael Bublé, Jeff Goldblum)
