John Pizzarelli & Ramsey Lewis

“Mona Lisa.” “Unforgettable.” “Straighten Up and Fly Right.” And oh so many more, one solid gold hit after another. Nat King Cole, the titan of 50s song stylists, is celebrated by two of the jazz world’s best: three-time Grammy winner and master of jazz piano Ramsey Lewis and singer-guitarist John Pizzarelli, about whom a local paper in the Northwest quipped, “John Pizzarelli is so impossibly cool he shouldn’t be legally allowed to enter Oregon.” Bring these two together and it’s an explosion of smooth jazz, a Concert Hall evening with a nightclub ambiance.
