Liza Moran and Josh Baty duet on a song that has been around since 1928, Makin' Whoopee

Incredible to see an actual 18-piece big band on the tiny Iridium stage.

From Wiki:

"Makin' Whoopee!" is a jazz/blues song, first popularized by Eddie Cantor in the 1928 musical Whoopee! Gus Kahn wrote the lyrics and Walter Donaldson composed the music for the song as well as for the entire musical.

The title is a euphemism for sexual intimacy, and the song itself has been called a "dire warning", largely to men, about the "trap" of marriage. "Makin' Whoopee" begins with the celebration of a wedding, honeymoon and marital bliss, but moves on to babies and responsibilities, and ultimately on to affairs and possible divorce, ending with a judge's advice.
