Cocuzzi “Courtet” at The Woodchopper’s Ball
September 19 @ 9:00 pm - 11:30 pm
Cocuzzi “Courtet”
Enjoy John Cocuzzi’s dynamic style, diverse rhythms, and innovative and skillful improvisation on piano, as he breathes new life into familiar tunes. Meanwhile, with Kristy Reed Cocuzzi’s passionate sultry voice, mastery of the clarinet and sax, and musical theater experience, you get Benny Goodman, Peggy Lee, and Bernadette Peters all rolled into one! Rounding out their band with upright bass and drums, the Cocuzzi “Courtet” brings you jazz, swing, and blues from the great American songbook, from New York, down to New Orleans, and up to Chicago. Entertaining to watch, a pleasure to hear, and irresistible to dance to!
