Jerome Kern was one of the most important composers of the "Great American Songbook," and his tunes have provided rich source material for jazz artists for decades.

This is the first hour long installment of a three part series which includes performances by Paul Motian, Grant Green, JD Allen, Abbey Lincoln, Milt Jackson and more. Early Kern compositions include Ol' Man River, Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man, Why Do I Love, You, Why Was I Born and The Song Is You.
