John Pizzarelli Tickets

The venue is outstanding! Pizzarelli and the trio were positively amazing! Brought my son and wife for first time. Blown away ! Food a bit over priced for the servings.

The venue was beautiful, wait staff very nice and attentive. John Pizzarelli and his fellow musicians put on an amazing performance combining excellent musical talents with humor. A truly enjoyable evening!

Fantastic show. John Pizzarelli is a fabulous performer, he is a talented musician but more than that—he engages the audience in such a way that everyone leaves wearing a HUGE smile. Isaiah J Thompson, his pianist, is phenomenal, so very talented. Amazing bassist (sorry didn’t catch his name). And the venue is beyond words. Top notch talent, in a beautiful setting. FIVE STARS!

We had very good meal first, restaurant is very nice. John Pizzerelli was FANTASTIC. If he comes again, be there!!

John Pizzarelli is a treasure, a great guitarist and vocalist with a passion for the music of Nat King Cole and others of that era. The night was filled with interesting stories about Cole’s career and songs presented with humor and enthusiasm. The arrangements and musicianship of Pizzarelli and band were top notch. A must see show.

Sixth time I have seen John playing, previously with his dad, brother and wife all performing with him. Absolutely the best entertainer in jazz out there and with the smoothest unmistakable voice out there. I will be going to many more performances when he visits this area .

e\We enjoyed the concert immensely. This is our third concert. Highly recommend it

John Pizzarelli is a favorite of ours and he did not disappoint. This show was everything we expected and more. The orchestra was outstanding as well. The sound was good and we had a very good view from our seats in the lower balcony. The venue could certainly use an update. It's looking tired and worn but it certainly beats Centennial Hall. Tucson desperately needs a state of the art music hall for the 21st century. Maybe then we will be able to attract more outstanding talent to Tucson.

John Pizzarelli and his Trio along with the Tucson Symphony Orchestra made for a great show. Plenty of old standards, some Beatles tunes and swing type big band numbers. Great show.

Excellent combination of the John Pizzarelli Quartet and the TSO. The show far exceeded our expectations.

A memorable evening. It doesn't get better than this.

I loved the whole show. Every song was perfect and John Pizzarelli was amazing! He has the best voice ever. So smooth and perfect. His guitar playing was incredible. The whole band was amazing and Jessica his wife was amazing. Wonderful show. Can't wait to see them all again!

John Pizzarelli is a musical mensch - an excellent guitarist and singer; a witty host; an entertainer who is appreciative of others, whether the skilled musicians accompanying him or the composers of the numbers he does or his fellow performers. I have seem him perhaps 25 times in various venues - clubs, concert halls, outdoor facilities - in New York, Pittsburgh, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area - and have enjoyed a variety of shows featuring new interpretations of jazz standards and numbers from the Great American Songbook and beyond. On this occasion, his wife Jessica Molaskey was on hand to present the type of numbers that make their annual engagement at Cafe Carlyle a highlight of the New York music scene. And Catherine Russell's soulful salute to Billie Holiday drew a rousing response. I look forward to hearing this concert on John and Jessica's Radio Deluxe program April 30.

Fabulous. Really tight small group, wonderful choice of selections, and terriffic singer, Catherine Russell. Especially like the medley of Sinatra ballads. Terrific songs.

JP is currently on tour promoting his new CD, "Midnight McCartney". John and his father Bucky played on Sir Paul's "Kisses on the Bottom", and Paul specifically asked John to cover his post-Beatles material. As usual, John likes to present interesting angles of the songs, sometimes altering the tempo, sometimes switching from major to minor to present the lyrics in a different mood, sometimes interweaving two songs with similar lyrics or tonalities that make sense, as on his excellent "Double Exposure" CD. He performed 2 sets, the second emphasizing McCartney and Wings, with Ellington and other material. The gems of the evening were the whole first set, devoted to songs with lyrics by the incomparable Johnny Mercer; while he didn't advertise it, he apparently also released a Mercer CD last January. The overall performance was excellent, with John's obvious guitar mastery, and a new quartet, without his brother Martin on bass. John is an excellent storyteller, growing up as the son of the legendary Bucky Pizzarelli, and neighbor of Les Paul. He seemed to be enjoying himself; the show was over 2 1/2 hours, with an intermission. Neither he nor the audience wanted it to end.

John Pizzarelli (son of Legendary Guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli), Monica Mancini (daughter of music legend Henry Mancini) and Cheyenne Jackson (Cabaret singer). Gave us one of the most memorable Sinatra 100 concert salutes for the year. The Good - The performances were for the most part FLAWLESS. A sixteen piece band that swung! The charts stayed close to their original roots of Nelson Riddle, Don Costa, Quincy Jones, Jobim. Several goose-pimple moments including when Sinatra's drummer Gregg Fields performed with his wife Monica... (earlier in the day the Vanity Fair article was published with Gregg's account of Sinatra's last performances.) Mr. Pizzarelli had fun stories of Mr. Sinatra, the composers, and arrangers that he shared throughout the night... and he was ENGAGING (and FUN!!!) The Bad - not that there were any bad musical moments... all of the charts/performances were exceptional... in my thoughts... It would have been pure MAGIC if other members from Sinatra's crew showed up to play with the band, or got introduced. Chuck Berghoffer, Terry Trotter... we missed you. To counter their absence - there were PLENTY of undercover Sinatra associates in the audience. Wishing I had kept better notes to share....some of the folks who showed. One other observation - the crowd was skewed towards an older demographic. It would have been awesome seeing younger audience members. The Ugly - The campus spokesman/host - failed to introduce himself when he took the stage... and seemed taken aback when I asked him after the show who he was. "I'm In The Program!" "Oh - Mr. Pizzarelli such a pleasure!!" The event appeared to be sold-out. There were at least two STANDING O's (not straggling ovations) and you felt that you were in a living room performance with this team. Cannot wait to see what Mr. Pizzarelli is going to share with us in April when he returns with more Sinatra... and Billie Holliday! Get your tickets now.

Wonderful orchestra! Besides being a very good jazz guitarist, John Pizzarelli is always amusing. Cheyenne Jackson was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! WOW! What a voice! We knew every song, except "Sunday" which was beautiful. Great show Go!

John Pizzarelli was a fantastic host with a great sense of humor, and wonderful musical sense and talent. Mancini and Jackson have beautiful voices and were also great. The tribute to Sinatra felt well thought out, including a champagne and birthday cake surprise for the audience, yet also naturally breezy and off the cuff. I will definitely seek out future Pizzarelli and other engagements.

Good entertainment. Singers were good. Would give it a solid "B' rating. The band was most talented --- very good. Pizzarelli made a nice connection with the audience with his conversation and story telling. Great touch at intermission with the bubbly and cake. Just a good evening

Great singer, comedian and above all, all great guitar player.
