The John Pizzarelli Trio, performing with the Elmhurst University Jazz Band, will headline the University’s June Jazz concert on June 20 as the popular summer event celebrates its 30th anniversary.

According to a news release from Elmhurst University, Pizzarelli is a world-renowned guitarist and vocalist whose jazz guitar interpretations of the Great American Songbook have been credited with renewing the popularity of jazz.
