Dec. 21-25, “A Swinging Birdland Christmas” at Birdland Jazz Club | The wonderfully charismatic and terribly talented trio of Klea Blackhurst, Jim Caruso, and Billy Stritch stretch their holiday tradition into its tenth year, with 2019’s run of  A Swinging Birdland Christmas. In the much-loved manner of beloved seasonal specials of days gone by, Blackhurst, Caruso, and Stritch perform swinging arrangements of Christmas Waltz, Kay Thompson’s Holiday Season, Sleigh Ride, I’ve Got My Love To Keep Me Warm, Snow, and It Happened In Sun Valley, among other favorites. The trio will be joined by Steve Doyle on bass and Daniel Glass on drums (Stritch mans the piano, as only he can). This will be a limited engagement of five performances, Dec. 21 – 25. All shows are at 5:30pm, except Mon., Dec, 23, at 7pm. For tickets and more info, click here. In conjunction with the run, the trio is proud to be releasing a new CD, Christmas at Birdland, released on Club44 Records (and featuring guest vocalist Donny Osmond!!). To order, click here.
