Billie & Blue Eyes is a heartfelt tribute to two iconic voices of American music - Billie Holiday and Frank Sinatra - brought to life by award-winning jazz talents Catherine Russell and John Pizzarelli. With Catherine’s radiant vocals and John’s smooth guitar and easygoing charm, they’ll take you on a journey through timeless classics from two unforgettable catalogs. It’s an afternoon of pure jazz bliss, served up with style and soul.Singer, guitarist, and vocalist John Pizzarelli has jazz in his blood. His father, Bucky Pizzarelli, was a guitarist on many Frank Sinatra recordings and John has spent his four-decades-long career reminding audiences of the genius of Sinatra and other greats, including his hero, Nat King Cole. A recent album with the John Pizzarelli Trio is For Centennial Reasons: 100 Year Salute to Nat King Cole. It is his way of honoring the man who helped make his career; in 1994, Pizzarelli’s album, Dear Mr. Cole, put the young artist on the map as an influential jazz guitarist and singer.
Grammy Award-winning vocalist Catherine Russell is a native New Yorker, born into musical royalty. Her father, the late Luis Russell, was a legendary pianist, composer, bandleader and Louis Armstrong's long-time musical director. Her mother, Carline Ray, was a pioneering vocalist/guitarist/bassist who performed with International Sweethearts of Rhythm, Mary Lou Williams, and Sy Oliver.
