We’re about halfway through summer and our Sunset Series is in full swing! Speaking of swing, join us this week for Crooner Night featuring Jerry Constanzo and His Gotham City Swingers on August 1.
Playing music from “The Great American Songbook,” which includes songs from Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Nat King Cole, the band will “create an immersive experience that transports you back to an era when this sultry and swinging music was all the rave,” says Jerry Constanzo, the band leader himself.
Constanzo developed his love for jazz at a young age, learning how to play the saxophone by third grade and eventually playing in his father’s band, The Memories of Swing. Then in 2003, Constanzo found his calling card – bringing his musical idols to life. He started his own band and now, Jerry Constanzo and His Gotham City Swingers play in almost every major jazz and supper club on both the East and West Coast, as well as in Hawaii, Canada and internationally. “I would have to say one of my favorite memories was performing for the King of Morocco,” says Constanzo.
Jerry Costanzo has garnered acclaim among jazz and swing enthusiasts for his rendition of classic tunes. “Costanzo and his swinging pals know how to grab the Vegas vibe that most of us have heard about but never were old enough to really experience. It’s not a timepiece, just a good time that doesn’t try to recreate, but exists in its own place bringing some authenticity along for the ride,” says Chris Spector, Editor and Publisher of Midwest Record.
“It wouldn’t be an overstatement to say that Jerry Costanzo is on par with living legends like Tony Bennett and the like. His love for the classic jazz repertoire is unquestionable and his musical skill set is more than ample. In the realm of traditional song interpreters it doesn’t get much better!” says Jazz Inside Magazine.
Complete the night with our speciality menu items, Whisky Side Car and a Chicken or Shrimp Po Boy Sandwich. These speciality menu items and our usual food and beverage items will be available all night at both of our full service bars.
