- Description: 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.

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.
