Expect heaps of Nash-ups, some special guests, and songs which ought not be arranged as ballads...as ballads. "Sunday Night Music Club #1" was praised as "a heady mix of style and substance that was by turns exciting, funny, moving, and surprising. It was a piano bar set transformed into art—highly accessible, entertaining art, but art, nonetheless" (Gerry Geddes, Bistro Awards), and volume two will bring even more requests, belting, and piano bench straddling. Sundays, July 21 and August 4 at 1:00 PM, Wednesday, July 24 and August 7 at 7:00 PM NELSON ASPEN and ALLYSON BRIGGS "Tony Bennett: A Tribute" Nelson Aspen and Allyson Briggs have a new tribute show to the great Tony Bennett who passed away last July at the age of 96.

The two spent several hours together, leaving Aspen forever dazzled by not only the star's talents, but insight, humility and hospitality. "Tony Bennett: A Tribute" will feature clips from Aspen's time with the artist born Anthony Dominick Benedetto, reflections on Bennett's humanitarian work, career highlights, and support of young musicians. And, of course, plenty of songs from the great American songbook that Bennett infused with his signature style. Just as Bennett was famous for his duets with other singing stars, Aspen will be joined by Allyson Briggs, renowned bandleader of Manhattan's hottest jazz band, Fleur Seule. Aspen promises it will be an intimate way for audiences to remember Bennett's artistry, life and legacy.
