Join jazz artist Stephanie Nakasian for a Cabaret-Jazz Master Class in Boca Raton.

I don’t know if Peggy Lee ever performed in Del Ray Beach but last night Ann Hampton Callaway masterly brought the music and life of the sultry-voiced Jazz singer of ‘Fever’ to a packed audience in the Arts Garage.  The patrons were in for an added treat as Ann, who is also a gifted pianist accompanied herself for this engagement.

As the old joke goes “he has a face for radio”….Well, Bob Merrill, Legends Radio host and interviewer, also has the face, demeanor, and musicianship to be a vocalist/bandleader. He brought the group Sunnnyside Swing to the Persson Hall at The Kravis Center last night for an evening of hits from The Great American Songbook. 

Rob Russell survived the pandemic and two heart operations this past year so his return to the stage caused a joyous celebration last night at the Pelican Cafe Cabaret.   His Palm Beach fans gave him a standing ovation as they sang “It’s so nice to have you back where you belong” to “Mr. Palm Beach”.  

International Jazz Day, which is chaired by multi-Grammy winner Herbie Hancock, the 3rd annual Palm Beach International Jazz Festival (Presented by Palm Beach International Jazz Festival Organization, LLC) will celebrate the great American music genre -JAZZ.

Although the official location of Billy’s Place is located on Manhattan’s Central Park South it’s now transforming itself into anywhere that Mr. Stritch sits at the piano and croons in his musically elegant style.

A beautiful outdoor venue, yachts parked on the waterway behind the  stage, moon and stars overhead and a glorious voice performing a musical crossover selection of songs.  Andrea Bocelli live in concert at the breathtaking costal setting of Portofino, Italy?  Nope, it was Carole J. Bufford in the Harbourside Place Amphitheater in Jupiter, Florida.  

Billy Stritch brought the musical elegance of his wildly successful internet show “Billy’s Place” to the glamorous Cabaret Room at The Wick Theatre last night. Miami and Palm Beach celebs turned out for the event as did Billy’s South Florida fans who filled every table in the CDC compliant Cabaret space created by Marilyn Wick.

Here are two statements rarely heard in the world of Cabaret. “There goes that Cabaret Singer driving off in his new Bentley!” and “Did you check out that beautiful new Cabaret Room?”

"If nominations for the first couple of Palm Beach County music were held, vocalist Jill Switzer and multi-instrumentalist Rich Switzer would be near the top of the list of candidates," according to Florida Weekly.

When Liza Minnelli tells showbiz, "Look out… here comes Nicolas King," you know this performer is the real deal. Having toured with Minnelli and appeared in three Broadway shows by the time he was a teenager, King is no stranger to showmanship and storytelling. Now, he has partnered with legendary jazz pianist and music director Mike Renzi to release his new album, ON ANOTHER NOTE, a collection of rich jazz standards that follow the plot of a love story.

Broadway mainstay Christine Andreas showcased her impeccable vocal abilities in her new show Cabaret show at The Colony in Palm Beach last night and BroadwayWorld was there.

Once a month, Delray Beach is occupied with a taste of Manhattan, when host Jim Caruso and musical director Billy Stritch take over the Crest Theater with 'Cast Party!' These long-time New Yorkers have been hosting the 'extreme open mic' at Birdland (the jazz corner of the world) and across the globe for the past 15 years, and have recently put Delray on their schedule of places to celebrate incredible local talent.

There are many great notes that come from the vocal chords of Nicolas King and the fingers of Mike Renzi. They all came together in a blockbuster concert at the Arts Garage in Delray Beach Florida last night and BroadwayWorld was there.
