The Richard Rodgers Songbook
Jaimee Paul
The Richard Rodgers Songbook is the latest album from celebrated jazz vocalist Jaimee Paul, released on April 24, 2026 via Green Hill Productions in partnership with Burton Avenue Music. The 12-track set is a companion piece to Paul's 2025 release The Gershwin Songbook, continuing her ongoing series of classic American Songbook tributes produced under the same Nashville-based creative partnership. The album features Paul's core ensemble of longtime collaborators: pianist Pat Coil, bassist Jacob Jezioro, and drummer Danny Gottlieb, the same rhythm section anchoring her Gershwin set, with saxophonist Dan Hitchcock joining on select tracks.
The album draws exclusively from Richard Rodgers's vast catalog — primarily from his celebrated partnerships with Lorenz Hart and Oscar Hammerstein II — and presents 12 of the most enduring standards in the American songbook tradition. The tracklist spans decades of Broadway and popular song: from Hart-era gems like "My Funny Valentine," "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered," "Isn't It Romantic?," and "The Lady Is a Tramp" to Hammerstein collaborations including "Some Enchanted Evening," "People Will Say We're in Love," and "Do-Re-Mi," alongside the standalone classic "Blue Moon." As with her Gershwin record, Paul brings what Rough Trade describes as "a sophisticated, soulful" interpretive voice to material that has long been central to the jazz vocal canon.
