Singer-songwriter Nicole Zuraitis and the modern songbook movement
About this episode
Nicole Zuraitis discusses her new album and the concept of a modern songbook.
Irving Berlin. Cole Porter. Rodgers and Hart. Rodgers and Hammerstein. George and Ira Gershwin. We love all those songs. There’s a reason they’ve become standards. And a fresh, exciting, new version of, for instance, “Blue Skies” can be fresh and exciting. But what about fresh, exciting, new standards from fresh, exciting, new songwriters? This hour, the great jazz singer-songwriter Nicole Zuraitis joins us in studio to talk a little about her brand new album, The Devil I Knew , and a lot about the idea of a modern songbook — a new, contemporary canon of standards to supplement the Great American Songbook we all know and love.
