Jackie Bornstein debuts with her top band at Classic Cinema's new event space, Classic Southside!

Bringing her rich vocals, Jackie takes her audience on a journey through the cool jazz of the 1950s, the jazz manouche of Paris and the bossa nova of Brazil. She will perform an infectious repertoire featuring a mixture of ballads, bossa nova and swing tunes by influential composers including George Gershwin, Maria Grever, Charles Trenet, Cole Porter, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Jimmy Van Heusen and more.
