Testimonials

I think it’s a wonderful idea.

Nat HentoffRenowned Reviewer, Historian & Journalist on the purpose and mission of American Songbook Preservation Society

We are working for the same thing…to continue the legacy of this great body of work for future generations to come to know and enjoy.

Wynton MarsalisTrumpeter, Composer, Bandleader, Music Educator, and Artistic Director of JazzLincoln Center

In a hundred to a hundred fifty years from now, I believe that people will recognize the music of Gershwin and Ellington as the Classical Music of our time.

Tony BennettSinger of Popular Music, Standards, Show Tunes, and Jazz

This is very patriotic!

Phoebe JacobsExecutive Vice President of the Louis Armstrong Educational Foundation

There is a grassroots group you may know of, led by vocalist and producer Ron Kaplan. It’s called the American Songbook Preservation Society…Very admirable; no one (save perhaps Michael Feinstein) could be more eager than I to see the brilliant work of the Gershwins, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, Jerome Kern, Duke Ellington, Johnny Mercer, Frank Loesser and their ilk, protected and performed ad infinitum.
