John Pizzarelli has cultivated a winning career by singing classic standards and late-night ballads, and by playing sublime and inventive guitar. Using greats like Nat "King" Cole and Frank Sinatra and the songs of writers like Sammy Cahn and Jimmy Van Heusen as touchstones, Pizzarelli is among the prime revivalists of the great American songbook. His live shows are entertainment events not to be missed, as he deftly transitions between displays of dazzling virtuosity and the most intimate, heartfelt ballads – all peppered with his unique brand of humor. We are proud to welcome John back to The Shedd, accompanied by his longtime collaborators Ray Kennedy (piano), brother Martin Pizzarelli (bass), and drummer Tony Tedesco.
