  11. Jazz Up July in Stamford features some of the biggest names in jazz

    Yet another free concert series begins this week, again at Stamford's Columbus Park. Jazz Up July has once again attracted some huge names in jazz, the first of which is guitarist and singer John Pizzarelli, who you may remember from those old &quot;Wonder of It All" Foxwoods commercials, the son of local jazz great Bucky Pizzarelli. His newest album <em>Double Exposure</em> takes pop songs of his own generation ("Harvest Moon", "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" and "Alison") and places them into traditional jazz arrangements, and the show is a freebie.

    New Orleans' Preservation Hall Jazz Band is taking a break from sitting in with My Morning Jacket at festivals this summer to play a free outdoor gig in Stamford on Wendesday as part of the Jazz Up July series. The group was founded in 1961, and they've carried a particuarly poignant message around the world with them since Hurricane Katrina, proving that New Orleans hasn't lost its spirit. Let loose and transport yourself to the French Quarter, past, present and future, for a couple of hours, right in the heart of Stamford, of all places.
