Wilton Playshop Hosts An Evening Of Jazz With Pizzarelli, Bruno, Cutrone

Legendary jazz guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli will return to The Wilton Playshop Saturday, March 12th at 7:30 pm joining jazz Bassist Jerry Bruno and drummer John Cutrone for an evening that will feature originals from their Four X Four album and a selection of jazz standards from Cole Porter, Duke Ellington, Jerome Kern, Count Basie and others.

The evening's performance will be recorded live and CDs of the show will be available to the public at a future date. A reception will follow the concert and audience members will have the opportunity to speak with the musicians.

The show follows a similar evening The Wilton Playshop hosted last year to great success. Known as one of the world's foremost jazz guitarists, Bucky Pizzarelli came to fame as a member of the Doc Severensen band that played on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. He has recorded countless albums and CD's and has played with Jerry Bruno and Ridgefield, CT drummer John Cutrone for many years.

"Opening our stage to great talent that brings new experiences to our audience is a top priority. Hosting an intimate night of jazz is of great interest to our members as we found last year when we featured Bucky, Jerry and John for the launch of their Four X Four CD," said Zelie Pforzheimer, President of The Wilton Playshop. "We are thrilled to have them return to The Playshop."

The trio can be seen for one night only at The Wilton Playshop, March 12th at 7:30 pm. Tickets can be purchased online at www.wiltonplayshop.org.
