Monday night's episode of
Jim Caruso's Cast Party was like a modern-day "
Ed Sullivan Show," thanks to a wide array of wonderful talent.
From 11-year-old jazz trumpet player
Geoff Gallante, who played and crooned "Bare Necessities," Vegas and Café Carlyle headliner
Clint Holmes, Irish TV's "Fame: The Musical" Finalist
Michael Joseph, cabaret star
KT Sullivan, jazz-man
Marcus Goldhaber and "Beauty And The Geek" star
Richard Rubin, who stormed through "Maple Leaf Rag" with a bag on his head, the "extreme open mic" entertained the packed house into the wee hours.
Host
Jim Caruso, as well as the visiting talent, were accompanied by the Cast Party Symphony Orchestra (
Tedd Firth,
Steve Doyle and
Carmen Intorre).
Jim Caruso's Cast Party takes place at Birdland (315 West 44 Street) every Monday night at 9:30.
