Overview


Lineup Change Announcement
Due to an unforeseen medical incident, Sheila will not be able to join us tonight. We are keeping her in our thoughts for a speedy recovery. However, we are excited to announce that replacing her will be nine-time Grammy winner and a seventeen-time Grammy nominee, Janis Siegel from The Manhattan Transfer. Learn more about Janis here.



Legendary jazz singer Sheila Jordan—who Charlie Parker called the “singer with the million dollar ears”—Christine Tobin, Phil Robson, and special guests bring to life the jazz scene around 52nd Street during the 1940s and '50s. 

Guest artists include alto saxophonist Steve Wilson, who the Wall Street Journal hails as "essential to this city's jazz landscape," Yamaha Jazz Award-winner and UK-born bassist Mark Lewandowski, and the Tobin's Run return of drummer Charles Goold, who has played with artists such as Tony Bennett, Ne-Yo and more.

Lineup is subject to change.
