AN EVENING OF
SWING, BIG BAND AND BROADWAY
Saturday, March
6, 2010 at 8:00 pm
Two powerhouse
vocalists join forces for the ultimate in cool. They’ll revive the swing and
big band eras and take you for a trip down the Great White Way.
Internationally
known for classic standards, late-night ballads and the cool jazz flavor he
brings to his performances, JOHN PIZZARELLI is the consummate entertainer and
jazz guitarist. John and his “Swing 7” band will electrify the audience with
his interpretations of the Great American Songbook, Nat King Cole, and a
sprinkling of Ol’ Blue Eyes himself, Mr. Frank Sinatra.
Singer, film
& TV actress and multiple Tony Award winner CHRISTINE EBERSOLE, (42nd Street
& Grey Gardens), currently starring on Broadway in Blythe Spirit, will bring
her band to Staller as well. After her opening night performance at NY’s Café
Carlyle, The New York Times critic Stephen Holden wrote, “It would be only
mildly overstating my delight at Christine Ebersole’s effervescent new act at
Café Carlyle to announce that I’m in love again…Ms. Ebersole was given
ample room to unfurl her exotically gorgeous musical plumage.”
Join Mr.
Pizzarelli and Ms. Ebersole as they bring their unique styles together for a
special Staller Center Gala concert—it will be a night to remember!
$70 tickets to
the Main Stage performance alone can be purchased on the on-line order form.
All proceeds from this performance support Staller Center’s
year-round programming as well as Educational Outreach activities.
