The popular 2019 album Christmas at Birdland is being celebrated with a special online concert through Radio Free Birdland on Friday, December 18 at 7:00 PM ET. Christmas at Birdland features vocalists Billy Stritch, Jim Caruso and Klea Blackhurst with Steve Doyle on bass and drummer Daniel Glass on drums, plus special guests Donny Osmond on vocals and Dave Koz on saxophone.
The celebration of the album is part of the 11th annual A Swinging Birdland Christmas, available this year as a pay-per-view concert from Radio Free Birdland in association with BroadwayWorld.com. The show will feature special guest appearances by tap dancer Luke Hawkins, saxophone superstar Dave Koz and cabaret legend Marilyn Maye. In the tradition of seasonal specials, Blackhurst, Caruso and Stritch will perform swinging arrangements of selections from the album and new surprises.
Christmas at Birdland melds old and new with the standards of Irving Berlin, Jule Styne and Harry Warren and contemporary originals by the likes of Ann Hampton Callaway, to rarely-recorded songs by golden age writing talent like Cy Coleman, and the holiday theme from the popular Disney series “Phineas and Ferb.”
