Tangerine

0 upcoming performances in New York

“Tangerine” began life as a 1941 popular song, with music by Victor Schertzinger and lyrics by Johnny Mercer, and it quickly moved into the shared repertoire of jazz musicians. In the rock canon, it’s also known as an acoustic Led Zeppelin ballad, often treated as a brief pause inside louder setlists. At NJPAC, Get the Led Out places it within a tribute framework that emphasizes fidelity over reinvention. In New York City, where standards and rock history routinely cross paths, the song reads as a small case study in how American songwriting migrates between scenes.
