“VJ knows how to sell a song and the obvious joy he has in performing is appealing!"— Scott Yanow, LA Jazz Scene (March 2019) 

"Janusz has made a name for himself as a modern-cabaret style singer and skilled pianist with a flair for the dramatic and theatrical... His richly expressive voice displays a debt to Sinatra as well as an affinity for Elvis Costello." —Andrew Luthringer, Earshot Jazz (2016)

Opening the night is THE KLEIN PARTY: 
TKP explores the Top One Million songs from all the Old Countries. This clarinet-saxophone-accordion-ukulele-bass quintet brings a jazz sensibility to klezmer freylachs and bulgars, gypsy dance music, sentimental Italian tunes, novelty Americana, country-and-western favorites, Yiddish theatre music and the occasional opera aria. 

Sabrina Pope, clarinet
Brandon Campbell, saxophones
Mark Lutwak, accordion
Eric Ray Anderson, ukulele & vocals
