Jazz artists to perform The Wyckoff Reformed Church has announced that jazz legend Bucky Pizzarelli and Ed Laub will perform Oct. 26 for the church’s jazz and blues series. Due to the perform- ers’ popularity, this third event in the WRC series of live jazz and blues concerts is expected to be a sold out event. Those who plan to attend are advised to “save the date” and purchase tickets well in advance. Considered jazz royalty, Pizzarelli has a career that spans more than 60 years and includes work with the Vaughn Monroe Orchestra and on Johnny Carson’s “Tonight Show.” He has performed at the White House, and with Benny Goodman, Frank Sinatra, and Claude “Fiddler” Williams. He is a featured performer on the Paul McCartney album “Kisses on the Bottom.” Last year, Pizzarelli became one of the first musicians in New Jersey to have two of his guitars, along with a recorded history of his lifetime in music, accepted into the Smithso- nian Institute in Washington, D.C. Laub, who plays concerts and clubs throughout the New York Metropolitan area, including at the Metropoli- tan Museum of Art, the Les Paul Museum, and the Annual Elkhart Jazz Festival, is a regular at Smalls Jazz Club in Greenwich Village. For the past 12 years, he has been a consistent playing partner of Pizzarelli, his mentor and friend.
