Songbook Sundays: Irving Berlin
Dizzy's Club102 Columbus Circle, New York 10107
Songbook Sundays turns to Irving Berlin at Dizzy’s Club, with pianist and music director Ted Rosenthal leading a multi-generational band of jazz stars in a festive, swinging tribute. Deborah Grace Winer curates and hosts the program. The evening is built around Berlin’s songbook rather than a named working band, and the musicians joining Rosenthal have not been announced in the available information.
Songbook Sundays is a recurring songbook-focused series, not a separately identified band or act. Rosenthal is named here as music director, while Winer shapes and presents the program; no background, hometowns, or previous collaborators are provided for the performers on this Irving Berlin date. No reviews of this specific lineup are available. An earlier review of a different Songbook Sundays installment called its band “what a fine band it was,” but that does not identify the musicians appearing for this program.
Dizzy's Club offers a refined jazz experience with a seating capacity of about 140, where guests enjoy live performances from world-class musicians in a room that frames sweeping views of Central Park and the Manhattan skyline. The venue features a full bar and a seasonal menu with sophisticated soul food, enhancing the evening beyond just the music. Shows are ticketed and typically run two sets per night, with late-night sessions available without reservation. The seating is generally first-come, first-served, encouraging early arrival for the best vantage points. The club’s location within Jazz at Lincoln Center places it in a lively cultural hub, making it ideal for a night that blends attentive listening with the pleasure of fine dining and cityscape views.
