Headliners

John Pizzarelli Trio

“Infectious enthusiasm.”

Critics frequently mention he entertains himself just as much as the crowd, exuding a blissfully carried-away energy.

Anat Cohen

“Expressive and virtuosic.”

Critics highlight her mastery of the clarinet, noting her ability to navigate both dark, woody lows and bright, agile highs with immense finesse.

Noteworthy
