Jessica Molaskey

WBGO's Singer's Unlimited co-host Janis Siegel talks to John Pizzarelli about his new album Dear Mr. Bennett, a musical tribute to Tony Bennett.

Besides talking about music, they also get into discussions about cooking and clothes.

Dear Mr. Bennett will be released on March 3rd, 2026.

John Pizzarelli and his trio will be appearing live at Birdland in NYC, March 3rd-7th.

Over the past five decades, the voice of Janis Siegel, a nine-time Grammy winner and an eighteen-time Grammy nominee, has been an undeniable force in The Manhattan Transfer’s diverse musical catalog. Alongside her career as a founding member of this musical institution, Siegel has also sustained a solo career that has spawned almost a dozen finely-crafted solo albums and numerous collaborative projects, amassed a large international fan base and garnered consistently high critical praise.
