Versatile, entertaining, engaging, personable, and back by popular demand, John Pizzarelli returns to Worcester with his quartet to treat those lucky enough to get a ticket to an evening of American songbook standards. Holding Frank Sinatra and Nat "King" Cole as primary influences, and collaborating with many leading musicians including Paul McCartney and Rosemary Clooney, Mr. Pizzarelli's many albums demonstrate his great range across all genres of jazz as guitarist and vocalist. |
WICN is going to Cuba this fall, and you can come along!
