New Standards is a century of great songs and then some! Host Paul Cavalconte guides you through the great age of the mid-century American Songbook, its evolution into the singer-songwriter era, and forward into the present day.

Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, Nat Cole and Frank Sinatra meet Joni Mitchell and Bob Dylan; Stephen Sondheim and Lin Manuel Miranda. New Standard-bearers like Jon Batiste, Leslie Odom Jr, and Janelle Monae update the Songbook to the 21st Century. New Standards is a rich and elegant soundtrack to a New York Saturday night.

It’s the sound of a diverse and dynamic America, with the songs and voices that have filled theaters and scored films for over a century.
