Saxophonist Paul Shapiro’s Ribs & Brisket comes to The Triad Theater on Saturday, March 8 at 7 PM. The show has been performing internationally since the release of Essen (Eat in Yiddish) on Tzadik Records. Featuring two of New York vocalists, Cilla Owens and Eleanor Reissa and Shapiro on sax, they blow Yiddish, jazz and blues, standing where the Borscht Belt meets 52nd Street.
Shapiro, viewing “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” recognized music in the soundtrack that his band was already performing. The idea of Ribs & Brisket Plays the Music of Mrs. Maisel was born and some classics were added to their already eclectic, humorous and virtuosic repertoire.
From Slim Gaillard’s “Dunkin’ Bagel” and the Jewish cowboy classic “The Ballad of Irving,” on to the Barry Sisters, Blossom Dearie and Ella Fitzgerald, the ensemble swings hard and the two singers rock the mic.
Tickets are $25 | $4 Fees, with a two-drink minimum. Get Tickets
The Triad Theater is located at 158 W. 72nd St., New York, NY
