Description: Selling Lady Gaga Jazz and Piano Las Vegas Residency Playbill given in her last show on October 5, 2023 The Playbill contains a description from Gaga, saying that she's been singing jazz standards since she was a teenager. "At 13, I gave my first jazz vocal performance in New York City at a neighborhood boys school. I sang Billy Strayhorn’s 'Lush Life,' a tune introduced to me by my jazz band teacher. Looking back I can’t help but laugh a little thinking about my young teenage self belting out lyrics about loneliness and drowning my sorrows away in a dive bar. I barely understood what I was singing, but I understood the music all the way down in my bones." She also attributed the inspiration for Jazz & Piano to the late Tony Bennett, with whom she recorded two albums of classic tunes: Cheek to Cheek and Love for Sale (the two also embarked on a tour together 2014–2015.) "Tony taught me that to sing jazz and improvise well, you had to know it like the back of your hand, and the truth is that I do. I’ve been singing these songs since I was a little girl," she writes. Gaga also included a dedication page to Bennett in the show's program. Besides being a pop star with five studio solo albums, Gaga has visited the musical realm several times over the years. She helped write the music for the film A Star Is Born, where she played an aspiring singer-songwriter (the song "Shallow," earned Gaga an Academy Award for Best Original Song). She performed a Sound of Music medley at the Oscars in 2015, in a segment introduced by Julie Andrews. And she told Lin-Manuel Miranda in 2018 that she "would absolutely do Broadway," and that record executives used to tell her that she was "too theatre."
