What happened in Vegas comes to The Rrazz Room! Jonathan Poretz, who has starred as Frank Sinatra in the long-running show, “The Rat Pack is Back,” celebrates the carefree spirit and fun filled nightlife that epitomized the casino lounges of the swinging 60s.
Backed by his jazz and swing-infused quartet, Jonathan creates an intimate after-hours atmosphere, weaving the great American standards with stories about the men and women who composed and performed these wonderful songs.
And just like the Vegas lounge scene made famous by legends such as Louis Prima and Keely Smith, expect the unexpected. You never know what might happen or who will show up for a guest appearance.
Performing with Jonathan are Lee Bloom on piano, Jeff Neighbor on bass, Kent Bryson on drums and Jeff Sanford on reeds.
