Spectacle Live today announced that it will present the John Pizzarelli Trio on Saturday, July 20, at 8 pm. Tickets go on sale Friday, May 3, at 10 am. at JanePickens.com or by calling 1-800-657-8774.
World-renowned guitarist and vocalist John Pizzarelli has dedicated many of his albums to the great songwriters and performers who have helped to establish the Great American Songbook and the pop music canon: Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, Paul McCartney, Richard Rodgers, and Duke Ellington, to name a few. With his new album, Pizzarelli and his remarkable new trio cast a wider net to explore other sources for the most immortal songs of the past century: the Broadway stage and the silver screen.
He’s joined for this occasion by his new trio featuring bassist Mike Karn and pianist Isaiah J. Thompson, two tremendous talents with whom Pizzarelli quickly discovered a scintillating chemistry, even with a two-year disruption to their touring schedule. While Karn has been working with Pizzarelli for the last seven years, Thompson joined the trio only three years ago, in late December 2019. A few months later his tenure was interrupted by the pandemic, only for the band to pick up again in August 2021. Stage & Screen was recorded a few short months later, but the band sounds like it’s logged years on the road.
Tickets for John Pizzarelli Trio at The JPT Film & Event Center on Saturday, July 20, at 8 pm are $49 – $79 and go on sale Friday, May 3, at 10 am at JanePickens.com or by calling 1-800-657-8774.
