Finally it seems we’re into spring mode, just in time for April and some outstanding options in jazz for the coming week, from local stars the Atlantis Quartet to visiting upstart Greg Ward to such seasoned internationally renowned performers as Freddy Cole and Stacy Kent. Add in a three-show debut of Arne Fogel’s revue of the great songwriting teams of Hollywood and Broadway and a night of jazz and art in the Northeast arts corridor and you have a diverse array of options.

At Crooners Lounge, Patty Peterson returns from a couple weeks of engagements in the LA area with sister Linda. Her “And Friends” ensemble–nephew Jason Peterson DeLaire, brother Paul Peterson, and Jay Young– adds Andrew Walesch on vocals and piano.
