Ella Fitzgerald Jazz Celebration

Catherine Russell’s journey from her rich collaborations with Steely Dan and David Bowie to her acclaimed jazz performances has established her as a singular, soulful voice in modern music. She masterfully bridges the past and present, infusing early swing and blues classics with fresh, contemporary flair. Similarly, John Pizzarelli’s energetic, standard-loving approach—shaped by opening for Frank Sinatra and a deep reverence for the Nat King Cole Trio—echoes this dynamic blend of tradition and innovation. The John Pizzarelli Trio’s direction perfectly mirrors this vibrant musical legacy. Jae Sinnett’s critically acclaimed and versatile ensemble embodies the spirit of jazz, seamlessly fusing swinging, soulful roots with forward-thinking modern elements. Their performances showcase both technical brilliance and creative originality, resulting in a distinctive and compelling sound.
