On Friday, he explored the prolific songwriter George Gershwin's catalogue with exquisite attire and fabulous arrangements. The show featured golden age standards such as "Summertime," "A Foggy Day, "They All Laughed," and "There's a Boat that's Leaving Soon for New York," all with Graham's unique spin. He was joined by Dan Bolton on piano, Michael Blanco on bass and Joseph Nero on drums.
