The Carlyle, A Rosewood Hotel, has announced that The Rossano Sportiello Trio will debut at the Café Carlyle during their two week engagement running through June 22. The Trio will be performing their program, The Smiling Piano: A Tribute To The Artistry Of Jazz Piano Icon George Shearing. Check out photos from the event below!
A tribute to George Shearing means a tribute to jazz piano in general. Mr. Shearing's style was first inspired by Fats Waller, Teddy Wilson, and Art Tatum. But Shearing soon became one the masters of be-bop. A Shearing tribute is also naturally a tribute to The Great American Song Book, because he was one of its greatest interpreters and one of the most remarkable improvisers of all time, as well as a very prolific composer.
Café Carlyle is located in The Carlyle, A Rosewood Hotel (35 East 76th Street @ Madison Avenue). The Rossano Sportiello Trio will play Tuesdays through Saturdays at 8:45pm from June 11th to June 22nd. There is a $65 music charge ($45 bar seating) Tuesday through Thursday and a $75 music charge ($50 bar seating) for shows on Friday and Saturday. For additional information, visit www.thecarlyle.com.
