"A Swinging Birdland Christmas" opened with a bang on December 21! For the fourth year in a row, Jim Caruso, Billy Stritch, KLea Blackhurst, and the band (Steve Doyle on bass and Carmen Intorre on drums) kick of Christmas week with their swinging holiday standards, and a few pieces of special material that are impossible to define! Opening night saw Broadway folk like Christine Ebersole, Colleen Zenk, Daniel Rowan and Andrea Prestonario leading the applause. Check out a look back below!
This year, a live cd is available for purchase (Birdland Records).
