John Pizzarelli and The Swing 7

One of the most charming performers ever returns to the Quick Center stage. Guitarist and singer John Pizzarelli has been hailed by the Boston Globe for “reinvigorating the Great American Songbook and re-popularizing jazz.” He has expanded that repertoire by including the music of Paul McCartney, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Tom Waits, Antônio Carlos Jobim, and The Beatles.

​

Pizzarelli leaves audiences spellbound with his triple-threat combo of honey-smooth vocals, wry wit, and jaw-dropping guitar prowess, all while backed by a band of exceptional jazz artists.

​

John Pizzarelli has dedicated many of his albums to the great songwriters and performers who have helped to establish the Great American Songbook and the pop music canon: Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, Paul McCartney, Richard Rodgers, and Duke Ellington, to name a few. With his latest album – Stage & Screen – Pizzarelli explores immortal songs of the past century, classics from Broadway musicals and Hollywood films.
