Jimmy’s Jazz & Blues Club Features Grammy® Award-Winning Producer, Guitarist & Singer John Pizzarelli on Thursday December 15 at 8 P.M. World-Renowned Jazz Guitarist John Pizzarelli has been hailed by the Boston Globe for “reinvigorating the Great American Songbook and re-popularizing jazz.”

While plenty of jazz greats influenced his work—Benny Goodman, Les Paul, Zoot Sims, Clark Terry and Slam Stewart, among others—Nat King Cole has been Pizzarelli’s hero and foundation over the last 25+ years.

Elvis Costello, Sting and Billy Joel are among the stars lending their support to a campaign to save the fabled New York City jazz venue Birdland. The effort includes a virtual concert — which Costello will partake in — airing January 24th at 7 p.m. Et.

He passed on March 19 after a long illness. He was 88.

“Buddy was the most important person in my career. He believed in me even before I did,” Billy Crystal told Deadline. “In 1974, I was with a struggling three-man comedy group, and he took me aside and said if I wanted to be a stand up that, he’d be there for me along with the highly respected Jack Rollins, Charlie Joffe and Larry Brezner. He gave me the confidence to go it alone. A humble, gentle, humorous man, we had great highs together, and a few setbacks, but...

Tony Award winner Laura Benanti is set to replace British stars Daniel Evans and Jenna Russell in an upcoming "Spotlight" concert series at the Kennedy Center. Benanti will take over the concert, which is set to be a part of the "Barbara Cook's Spotlight" concert series, featuring Broadway stars and curated by Barbara Cook.

She also earned Tony nominations for her roles in Swing! and the revival of Into the Woods opposite Vanessa Williams.
