By Nippertown Staff On May 6, 2022

SCHENECTADY – A Place for Jazz (APFJ) and SUNY Schenectady School of Music are presenting a special spring concert featuring the legendary vocalist Ann Hampton Callaway with pianist Ted Rosenthal on Friday, June 3rd, at 7:30 PM at the Carl B. Taylor Auditorium, SUNY Schenectady Community College. This is a rescheduled event, originally meant to take place April 29th.

“We are very pleased to resume the jazz concerts this year. APFJ’s last two seasons were canceled due to Covid concerns. Prior to that, APFJ had presented a jazz concert series every fall for 33 consecutive years – a remarkable feat for a small, totally volunteer-led and operated not-for-profit organization. We will be announcing our 2022 fall concert season soon.” ~ Albert Brooks, APFJ president

Callaway, one of America’s most gifted and prolific artists, is a leading champion of the great American Songbook. She’s made her mark as a singer, pianist, composer, lyricist, arranger, actress, educator, TV host and producer, and was voted by Broadwayworld.com as “Performer of the Year” She is best known for Tony-nominated performance in the hit Broadway musical “Swing!” and for writing and singing the theme song to the hit TV series “The Nanny.” Ann will be accompanied by Ted Rosenthal, one of the leading jazz pianist/composers of his generation.
