Irving Berlin
composer
Irving Berlin wrote the songs that lodge in the ear and stay there: White Christmas, Easter Parade, Blue Skies, Puttin' on the Ritz. Simple, direct, and built for the heart, they still travel wherever melody is welcome.

Jerome Kern's songs sit at the heart of the American musical and the jazz standard book: long-lined melodies that carry character and story as easily as they invite improvisation, from Show Boat ballads to Hollywood fox-trots.
John Lennon

John Lennon's songs cut through styles and decades with plainspoken hooks and melodies that refuse to age. From Beatles classics to the solo anthem Imagine, his writing keeps finding new voices in jazz rooms, a cappella circles and the concert hall.
