Ann Hampton Callaway — the “…superbly intelligent, singularly creative pop-jazz stylist who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Streisand, Ronstadt, Shirley Horn, and Dianne Reeves.” (JazzTimes) — returns to Birdland with an exciting show kicking off Ella Fitzgerald’s centennial year.
Callaway explores the breadth of Ella Fitzgerald’s repertoire in a show titled “Ella Century” including fresh takes on classics such as, “How High the Moon,” “Mr. Paganini,” and “Every Time We Say Goodbye.”
Ann is backed by her all-star jazz quartet with Matt Baker (piano), Dean Johnson (bass), Tim Horner (drums), and Benny Benack III (trumpet).
