The Imperial Bedroom album was featured at this show, which is certainly not a bad thing. Actually something I always regretted not being able to see in the era the album came out. The one-and-only incredible Maurice Worm (also known as Steve Nieve) shines on all this material, as always.

Representing the songs were the large slides of artwork shown over the band, as seen below, some modified from familiar album cover shots.

Slideshow: Elvis Costello & The Imposters at the Beacon.

2016-12-03 John Pizzarelli Quartet

Tarrytown Music Hall

Another fine show at Tarrytown Music Hall.  John Pizzarelli is a great jazz guitar player and fabulous entertainer and band leader.  I have seen him play several times, including his Sinatra Show at Radio City Music Hall.

I saw his Sinatra tribute show at Radio City (years earlier) and thought he did a great job. I told him so when I met him by chance one night at Dizzy's Café. Its always good to support Tarrytown Music Hall, a rare not-for-profit venue.
