08.15.24
Get ready for a memorable evening as Grammy Award winner John Pizzarelli and his trio returns for their 11th spectacular appearance at the Sunset Jazz Series at Bistango Restaurant in Irvine on August 20 and 21.
The Boston Globe praises Pizzarelli's vocals and guitar playing for "reinvigorating the Great American Songbook and re-popularizing jazz." A celebrated bandleader and solo artist, Pizzarelli has recorded with artists such as Natalie Cole, Kristin Chenoweth, Rosemary Clooney, Ruby Braff, and Buddy DeFranco. His television appearances include The Tonight Show, Conan, David Letterman, and other popular shows. Recognized as one of the foremost contemporary interpreters of the Great American Songbook, Pizzarelli has expanded his repertoire to include the music of Paul McCartney, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Tom Waits, Antônio Carlos Jobim, and the Beatles.
The event will take place on Bistango's well-appointed open-air patio, where attendees can enjoy a delightful meal, an award-winning wine list, and exquisite cocktails. Fan-favorite dishes include the Sweet Garlic Soup, Marinated New Zealand Lamb Chops, and Oven Roasted Sea Bass. For a truly special ending to the evening, the Grand Marnier Souffle is a must-try.

Hilton Anaheim launches ‘Young at Art’ Exhibit w/ Art from OC High Schoolers
08.14.24
Orange County's largest hotel, Hilton Anaheim, has just launched the second installment of their Canvas Conversations art series. Titled "Young at Art," this exhibit will run through September 3rd and showcases work by talented young artists aged 13-18 from Orange County.
In collaboration with the Orange Community Arts Guild (OCAG), the series aims to enhance the guest experience at Hilton Anaheim by immersing visitors in local culture. The artworks, including paintings, sculptures, digital art, mixed media, and more, will be displayed throughout the hotel.
Curator and local artist Britt Samuels, who brought this concept to Hilton Anaheim, aims to celebrate Anaheim's vibrant culture and offer travelers a window into the community's soul, with each piece telling a unique story. Samuels, who wished for similar opportunities when he was younger, believes young artists deserve the chance to showcase their work. The OCAG selects these young artists' pieces through a "Call for Art" process.
The artists that will be showcased include:
- Chloe Suos: Located in Santa Ana, Suos has been working in digital arts for several years and has a talent for cartoon-like portraits, taking inspiration from modern media such as comic books
- Keely Zamora: A local Mexican-American artist, Zamora enjoys experimenting with color, mixed media, and surrealistic ideas to make meaningful creations and often contributes to fundraising events with her artistic abilities
- Kylie Valerio: A recent graduate from El Modena High School, Valerio loves using mediums such as clay and acrylic painting to portray her own life experiences and recent media
- Lily VanDerHoek: Incoming freshman at El Modena High School, VanDerHoek is heavily influenced by music in her art and loves to create using markers, paints, and oil pastels
- Allison Jerry: Anaheim local, Jerry has a passion for studying art and science, having taken art lessons starting at 6 years old and draws themes from animals
- Melanie Yang: A member of the honors art program at Orange Lutheran High School, Yang loves drawing from life experiences and her surroundings using techniques such as watercolor and printmaking.
