Jazz Forum in Tarrytown, NY presents world-renowned guitarist and singer John Pizzarelli and his trio including Mike Karn on double bass, and Konrad Paszkudzki on piano. The stop at Jazz Forum is part of Pizzarelli’s tour that coincides with the release of his new album For Centennial Reasons: 100 Year Salute to Nat King Cole on Ghostlight Deluxe.

“Nat King Cole is the reason why I do what I do,” comments John Pizzarelli. “The joy that he brought me has never faded and the musicality of his group remains fresh and vibrant to this day.”

Pizzarelli’s annual appearances in New York City at Carlyle and Birdland among other venerated jazz spots are always highly anticipated events for the jazz fans. Embarking on a tour to celebrate the new album, he explains, “The trio has developed and refined these songs and, over time, figured out what we feel have become the definitive versions. Some arrangements, like ‘Route 66,’ have gotten much faster. But ‘Straighten Up and Fly Right,’ which I recorded for my first album way back in 1983, has settled into more of a mellow tone. After all this time, I can slow down and savor it. These songs never get old.”

Enjoy the timeless music of legendary Nat King Cole together with the great John Pizzarelli and his musicians at Jazz Forum  on September 6-7, 2019. Space is limited so book ahead.

Montgomery Place is the early 19th century estate built by Janet Montgomery Livingston, the widow of the American Revolutionary War hero General Richard Montgomery and named in his honor. The estate was purchased more than 25 years after General Montgomery was killed in the battle of Quebec in 1775, and was originally called the Chateau de Montgomery. It was passed on to Livingston’s descendants who subsequently rebuilt and modernized the mansion, added the nursery and developed the grounds. The estate was put on the National Register of Historic Landmarks in 1975.

In 1986, the family transferred the property to the Historic Hudson Valley, a regional historic preservation organization. And recently in 2016, the estate was purchased by Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, NY.

What makes this site to stand out among other equally distinguished places scattered around the Hudson Valley, is its elegance and graceful confidence of its owners’ good tastes. The understated chic of the house decoration and furnishing is meticulously preserved and kept alive so much so that one almost feels the hosts’ presence. At times it seems that they just stepped out and will be back any minute. Explore the place for yourself and get in touch with history and nature here.
