Vail Jazz at Vail Square will take place on Thursdays throughout the summer from 6 pm to 8 pm. On July 14th, John Pizzarelli will perform. Halfway through his first set at the Vail Jazz Festival in 2013, it was clear to John…and his audience…that he’d found a new home in the mountains! After that smashing debut and subsequent Vail successes, John returns with his hipster spin on some classic American Songbook tunes as well as some modern hits, so get ready for some musical hijinks. Known for his energetic guitar playing, creative arrangements (and originals), and a unique take on combining jazz and pop styles, he is a thoroughly modern, entertaining performer who regales his enthusiastic audiences with hilariously improbable stories, brilliant guitar playing and his signature singing style.
