Unchained Melodies: Jazz Evensong Recording Concert!

The Evensong Quintet will record some music which falls out of copyright this year. Many of the best songwriters of the “tin pan alley” era wrote some of their most enduring tunes during the late 1920’s and many of these songs fall into public domain this year.

Jazz musicians have long favored the work of these giants, Gershwin, Cole Porter, Fats Waller, Irving Berlin, Hoagy Carmichael to name a few. For generations, big corporations have controlled the performance rights to this material, now these national treasures are free to be performed and recorded without restrictions.
