Denny Zeitlin - With A Song in My Heart (2025) [Official Digital Download]

For generations, the music of Richard Rodgers has been capturing listeners’ ears and imaginations. The legendary composer’s songs have become a part of the musical zeitgeist, many outlasting the musicals or films they were created for. It is no surprise that Denny Zeitlin chose to spotlight Rodgers and his exemplary work on the pianist’s new solo recording, With a Song In My Heart: Exploring The Music of Richard Rodgers.

Richard Rodgers is considered one of the finest composers of the 20th century. He mastered the challenge of integrating harmony and melody, accomplishing this in a seamlessly natural way. Rodgers’ limitless ideas insured that his music remains forever fresh and never dated. It is easy to see why jazz musicians have long appreciated Rodgers’ work, as it is easy to breathe new life into.

Beginning in 2009, Zeitlin enjoyed a decade of annual solo concerts at Oakland’s Piedmont Piano Company. By 2014, he was devoting each concert to an exploration of a single composer. Having done Wayne Shorter, Thelonious Monk, Miles Davis, Billy Strayhorn, and George Gershwin, Zeitlin set his sights on the music of Rodgers.
