From the Kennedy Center, Cafe Carlyle, and performing arts centers around the world, jazz guitarist John Pizzarelli (son of jazz legend Bucky Pizzarelli) and Broadway star Jessica Molaskey (Tommy, Chess, Oklahoma!) bring their all-star quartet to the 200-seat Crystal Ballroom. Pizzarelli says of his performances: "We're not digging up old arrangements; we're creating new ideas. That's what's so beautiful about interpretation. This music, it's not about age as much as it is about style, and about always trying to move the music forward.”

Tony Award-winner Christine Ebersole (2007, Grey Gardens; 2001, 42nd Street) and legendary accompanist Billy Stritch perform their brand new show from Lincoln Center’s American Songbook program. Of these 2007 Nightlife Award winners (Outstanding Cabaret Engagement), director Hal Prince raved: “I can’t think of a more potent combination of sophisticated and talented musicians. Their choices of material would be my choices, and their take on this variety of classy music and lyrics is pluperfect.”
