Beyond NYC: John Pizzarelli Trio in Salute to Nat King Cole at Jazz Forum in Tarrytown, NY
Celebrate Nat King Cole Centennial with John Pizzarelli, guitarist and singer, and his trio at the intimate Jazz Forum club in Tarrytown, NY on September 6-7, 2019
Jazz Forum in Tarrytown, NY presents world-renowned guitarist and singer John Pizzarelli and his trio including Mike Karn on double bass, and Konrad Paszkudzki on piano. The stop at Jazz Forum is part of Pizzarelli’s tour that coincides with the release of his new album For Centennial Reasons: 100 Year Salute to Nat King Cole on Ghostlight Deluxe.
“Nat King Cole is the reason why I do what I do,” comments John Pizzarelli. “The joy that he brought me has never faded and the musicality of his group remains fresh and vibrant to this day.”
Pizzarelli’s annual appearances in New York City at Carlyle and Birdland among other venerated jazz spots are always highly anticipated events for the jazz fans. Embarking on a tour to celebrate the new album, he explains, “The trio has developed and refined these songs and, over time, figured out what we feel have become the definitive versions. Some arrangements, like ‘Route 66,’ have gotten much faster. But ‘Straighten Up and Fly Right,’ which I recorded for my first album way back in 1983, has settled into more of a mellow tone. After all this time, I can slow down and savor it. These songs never get old.”
Enjoy the timeless music of legendary Nat King Cole together with the great John Pizzarelli and his musicians at Jazz Forum on September 6-7, 2019. Space is limited so book ahead.
