TV: Ann Hampton Callaway and Billy Stritch Celebrate the Music of Linda Ronstadt at Birdland

Tony nominee Ann Hampton Callaway, one of the leading pop/jazz singers of our time, has created an exciting night of songs and stories in celebration of one of America's most beloved artists: Linda Ronstadt.

On the heels on Callaway's symphonic/PAC triumph THE STREISAND SONGBOOK, this latest show celebrates the many faces of love in Ronstadt's iconic songs--- from her Stone Poney days like "Different Drum" and "Long Long Time," to pop/rock classics like "You're No Good," and "Desperado," to her iconic duets, which Callaway will perform with her brilliant musical director Billy Stritch.

I sat down with Callaway and Stritch in her dressing room at Birdland for a lively and enjoyable chat. Check out the video!

Ann Hampton Callaway: THE Linda Ronstadt SONGBOOK will play at Birdland at 8:30 and 11:00 PM from January 22-26. For tickets and information, visit www.birdlandjazz.com.
