Having concentrated on the music of Paul McCartney, Johnny Mercer, and Frank Sinatra over the last two years, Pizzarelli has returned to the bossa nova of Jobim with his 2017 release Sinatra & Jobim @ 50. With co- vocalist Daniel Jobim, grandson of the legendary Brazilian composer, the two explore songs Sinatra and Jobim recorded, as well as add new songs flavoured with the spirit of the classic Francis Albert Sinatra and Antonio Carlos Jobim album. Pizzarelli has toured North America, South America, Asia, and Europe, performing shows centered on Frank Sinatra’s centennial, the songs of Johnny Mercer, and a McCartney program, in which his quartet is joined by strings and a horn section. He also tours on a double bill with pianist Ramsey Lewis. While plenty of jazz greats influenced his work, Nat King Cole has been Pizzarelli’s hero and foundation over the last 25 years. He devoted two albums to his music, Dear Mr.

  • Press Coverage That the Scranton Jazz Festival Has Received
    scrantonjazzfestival.org SCRANTON JAZZ FESTIVAL ABOUT This summer The Scranton Jazz Festival will celebrate its 11th year at the historic Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel and various downtown Scranton venues. Attracting international, national, and regional jazz/blues and world beat artists, the SJF has proven its true potential to become a long-term musical event. Only with your support, does the festival continue to have the opportunity for an enormous impact on the cultural and economic development of our region. Fostering America’s original art form, jazz, Scranton has a rich history, dating back to the 1930’s when two jazz legends, Tommy Dorsey and Jimmy Dorsey, performed regularly with the Scranton Sirens Jazz Band. Our area is also credited with hosting the first known recorded jazz festival, “The Cavalcade of Dixieland Jazz”, in 1951. Since its premiere in 2005 the festival has drawn audiences from the entire Mid-Atlantic region, resulting in tremendous notoriety and exposure to the international jazz world. The SJF can help revive our region as a cultural epicenter, spreading the arts throughout the northeast, no different than such festivals as Newport, Rhode Island; Saratoga Springs, Florida; and Monterey, California. With your generosity, to support this program, we will be able to significantly enrich our community and region. Your donation will help us to defer costs for production, artists fees, advertising, and promotional expenses. In addition, your contribution will enable us to receive matching funds, provided by local and state funding organiza- tions. Together, as a united team, we can make artistic magic happen for Scranton. How incredible would it be to see this festival, in time, be considered a major summer destination place for the jazz/blues and world beat community? Only with your help will that magic happen.

The Christmas Song Wenn man Gregory Porter fragt, welcher Künstler den größten Einfluss auf sein Leben und seine eigene Musik ausgeübt hat, zögert er mit der Antwort keine Sekunde. Denn seit er im zarten Alter von fünf Jahren das erste Mal Nat King Cole hörte, hat ihn die Musik des schwarzen Crooners nicht mehr losgelassen. Auf seinem fünften Album “Nat King Cole & Me” zollt der zweifache Grammy-Gewinner dem legendären Sänger und Pianisten nun Tribut. “Er war wirklich einzigartig”, schwärmt Gregory Porter von seinem Idol. “Er hinterließ solch großartige Musik - so wunderschöne Sachen zum Anhören, dass man sich dem Einfluss seines außerordentlichen Timbres und Stils sowie seiner vollendeten Coolness einfach nicht entziehen kann.” “Meine Mutter erzählte mir, dass ich einen kleinen Song geschrieben hatte, als ich fünf Jahre alt war”, erinnert sich Gregory Porter. “Ich nahm das Lied auf Kassette auf und spielte es ihr vor, als sie von der Arbeit nach Hause kam.” Nachdem sie den Song gehört hatte, rief Ruth Porter begeistert: “Junge, du klingst wie Nat King Cole!” Das Kompliment machte den kleinen Gregory so neugierig, dass er sofort ihre Plattensammlung nach sämtlichen Aufnahmen von Nat King Cole durchforstete.

Beneath that reserve one discovers a reser - Tvoir of spiritual depth. It arises from both her Baptist upbringing and her personal work in Buddhist meditation and in dream analysis, which she undertook after experienc - ing some remarkable clairvoyance while working as a chem - ical engineer. Leaving that career, she began to pursue the arts of drama and music. She has become well known in the Baltimore area as a vocalist, flutist, educator and bandleader. Since she began it in 1999, her musical career has flowered, and among her regular performances is the last-Wednesday- of-the-month jazz vespers service at Holy Comforter Church PHOTO COURTESY OF RHONDA ROBINSON at 5513 York Road in Baltimore. Here especially her spiritual Rhonda Robinson with protégé Charlie Sigler depth is shared most directly with her audience. Robinson's generosity has led her to become a mentor to several young musicians as they have struggled to spread their wings. Among them are multi-instrumentalists, com - posers and Peabody alumni Jacob Yoffee (best known as a saxophonist), Blake Meister (best known as a bassist) and Todd Simon (best known as a pianist); bassist Sarah Carlisle; pianist Joel Holmes, who has played jazz around the world; pianist, vocalist and composer Mark Meadows; and gui - tarist-arranger Charlie Sigler, currently a student at William Paterson University.

  • Introduction
    Introduction Welcome to “The Greatest Hits Explained”. My name is Michael Winter and I’m the host and editor of the show. I’m a German American passionate music lover and I would now like to invite you to go on an exciting musical journey with me. I’m glad you’re here. No matter where you are right now and what you’re doing while you’re listening to this, if you’re in the mood to be entertained by music history, you’ve come to the right place. I’m really looking forward to this journey together. If you like this show, please subscribe, leave a review, a like, a comment – whatever applies to the specific platform on which you’re listening to this. Also, I really appreciate donations. You can find the link on my website or YouTube channel. Those donations help me cover my expenses for this show such as hosting fees, equipment cost, etc. I’m doing all of this to entertain you based on my endless love for music and since there is no big network pumping dollars into this show, I’m the one who has to pay for all related expenses. Therefore, a small donation would already be amazing. Today, we’re gonna talk about one of the most beautiful love songs ever: “Too Young” by the legendary Nat King Cole. I couldn’t be more excited. This song is one of my absolute favorites and I hope you’re interested in hearing a couple of facts about it. “Too Young” is one of those legendary classics that, to many people, is much more than just a song.
