Aretha Franklin Appears With Jazz At Lincoln Center
Trumpeter Wynton Marsalis had a special gift for the audience when he introduced Aretha Franklin in the middle of Thursday night's (Dec. 17) annual "Big Band Holidays" concert at the Rose Theater. The concert followed a ribbon-cutting ceremony hosted by Bette Midler to open the new Mica and Ahmet Ertegun Atrium at Jazz at Lincoln Center.

Accompanying herself on piano, she sang the Christmas carol "O Tannenbaum" in English and German. She followed with a soulful, gospel-infused version of the Tom Jones-Harvey Schmidt tune "My Cup Runneth Over." ... [She] dedicated her performance to Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun, who died in 2006.
