While continuing their look—begun at OFAM 2025 Winter—at jazz musicians’ adoption of songs from the Classic Songbook (featuring Jerome Kern, Harry Warren, Jimmy Van Heusen among others), they will also look at source material originally written as jazz (Duke Ellington, Hoagy Carmichael, Louis Armstrong, etc.) which became jazz standards and often Songbook standards as well. As usual there will be 8 unique concerts (most with 2 performances), the Jazz Party, talks, films, and sing alongs. For a full list of performance details visit www.theshedd.org/OFAM2025Summer
