Rhonda Denet teams up with Echoes of Sinatra vocalist Steve Kazlaskas for a show that brings audiences back to when these two legends in American music, Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra, brought crowds to their feet. This showcase features the music of Cole Porter, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, George and Ira Gershwin and several other composers included in the Great American Songbook. Rhonda and Steve not only sing songs that were signature tunes for each artist, but also re-create the duets that were only performed for television specials and live stage shows.
