Ramsey Lewis and John Pizzarelli Come to Van Wezel
Join Van Wezel for a special evening with Ramsey Lewis and John Pizzarelli with their tribute to Nat King Cole at the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall on Wednesday, January 10 at 8PM.
A jazz performer at heart, Nat King Cole broke the pop barrier with his smoky, smooth vocals, stringing along a huge number of solid hits right after his first "Straighten Up And Fly Right." Ramsey Lewis and John Pizzarelli have crafted a tribute to the titan of fifties vocal pop, from his hits to the singular tracks of sophisticated cool jazz that have influenced their own careers. Lewis, a master musician with over 50 years of performance behind him, is the perfect choice to represent Cole at the piano. Guitarist Pizzarelli remains a "master of Nat King Cole cool, swinging such standards as 'Just In Time.'" - The Seattle Times
Tickets are $27-$67. Purchase at VanWezel.org, the Box Office, or by calling 941-953-3368.
