Lyrics & Lyricists: Get Happy—Harold Arlen's Early Years

The trumpet-voiced Klea Blackhurst hosts the latest edition of the 92nd Street Y’s estimable Lyrics & Lyricists series. Assembled with bandleader Vince Giordano and music historian Robert Kimball, this episode is devoted to the 1930s output of master songsmith Harold Arlen ("Over the Rainbow," "Stormy Weather"). Stephen DeRosa, Erin Dilly, Catherine Rusell and Nathaniel Stampley join Blackhurst on vocals, with Giordano and his band, the Nighthawks, playing vintage orchestrations.
