Michael Feinstein — to appear on Broadway this spring with Dame Edna in All About Me — has been appointed the director of the Jazz at Lincoln Center.

Throughout the organization's 2010-11 season, Feinstein will program the popular song series, which features three concerts and one family event that will celebrate the canon of American popular song.

According to a release, Feinstein will be a featured performer in one of three programs and a family concert event. More guest artists, to be selected by Feinstein, will be announced at a later date.

Feinstein, who co-owns the New York City nightclub Feinstein's at Loews Regency, has performed in concert halls around the world and on Broadway. His numerous solo recordings include "The Sinatra Project," "Michael and George: Feinstein Sings Gershwin," "Big City Rhythms" "Romance On Film, Romance On Broadway," "Michael Feinstein with The Israel Philharmonic Orchestra," "Only One Life: The Songs of Jimmy Webb" and "Hopeless Romantics." The song man recently released "The Power of Two," a duets album with Broadway star Cheyenne Jackson based on their sold-out show.
