Marcus Printup’s Ugly Holiday Sweater Party
Dizzy's Club102 Columbus Circle, New York 10107
Marcus Printup brings his Ugly Holiday Sweater Party to Dizzy’s Club for a holiday set built around new arrangements of his favorite seasonal songs. For this December 23 performance, the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra trumpeter leads a small-group program with harpist, composer, and arranger Riza Printup, plus special guests. The billed party is the smaller-scale counterpart to the following night’s big band celebration, making this an opportunity to hear the holiday material in a more compact ensemble setting. The event is presented at Dizzy’s Club, Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Manhattan room, where performances are heard against views of Central Park and the city skyline.
Marcus Printup is identified in the event description as a trumpeter with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. Riza Printup is identified as a harpist as well as a composer and arranger, and her presence points to arrangements as a central part of the evening rather than a run-through of standard holiday material. The available information does not name the special guests, establish a fixed lineup beyond the Printups, or provide a separate biography for the Ugly Holiday Sweater Party. It also does not supply reviewers’ comments, hometown information, or documented collaborators for this particular holiday project.

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.
