28. Women soloist: Linda Ronstadt without even blinking

Mon Jul 24, 2023, 02:01 AM

Jul 2023

Male soloist: Tony Bennett

Group: This one is a tie Pink Martini, Steely Dan and Brave Combo. (and that is definitely an eclectic group there)

There are lots of amazing musicians out there .

Classical music in general but especially pianists I am obsessive when the Van Cliburn International competition is happening. Fortunately it is all on You Tube and there is a live stream.

Composer George Gershwin, hands down
