Shows In This Series

Recognized with 6 Grammy® Awards, Al Jarreau is the only vocalist in history to net Grammy® Awards in three different categories (jazz, pop, and R&B, respectively). Jarreau is considered by many to be the greatest jazz singer alive.
John Pizzarelli
Midnight McCartney
Paul McCartney had a great idea for an album. He just needed the world-renowned guitarist and singer John Pizzarelli to make it. He did, and now you can hear the results as Midnight McCartney comes to the McCallum. Hear the incredible John Pizzarelli singing and playing some of Paul McCartney’s post-Beatles hits and lesser-known compositions including “Silly Love Songs,” “No More Lonely Nights” and “Maybe I’m Amazed.” You’ll certainly be amazed by the talents of John Pizzarelli and the music of Paul McCartney.
