John Pizzarelli Friday, October 11, 2024 - 8:00 PM

Guitarist and singer John Pizzarelli has been hailed by the Boston Globe for “reinvigorating the Great American Songbook and re-popularizing jazz.” Established as one of the prime contemporary interpreters of the Great American Songbook, Pizzarelli has expanded that repertoire by including the music of Paul McCartney, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Tom Waits, Antônio Carlos Jobim and the Beatles. In addition to being a bandleader and solo performer, Pizzarelli has been a special guest on recordings for major pop names such as Natalie Cole, Kristin Chenoweth, Tom Wopat, Rickie Lee Jones and Dave Van Ronk, as well as leading jazz artists such as Rosemary Clooney, Ruby Braff, Johnny Frigo, Buddy DeFranco, Harry Allen and, of course, his father Bucky Pizzarelli. He won a Grammy Award in the Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album category as co-producer of James Taylor’s American Standard in 2021. A radio personality who got his start in the medium in 1984, Pizzarelli is co-host, alongside wife Jessica Molaskey, of Radio Deluxe with John Pizzarelli. He has performed on America’s most popular national television shows such as The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Conan, and Great Performances, as well as the talk shows of Jay Leno, David Letterman, Regis Philbin and the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

The Re-Scheduled Show for november

JD Souther

The American singer, songwriter, and actor John David "JD" Souther has written and co-written multiple songs recorded by Linda Ronstadt and the Eagles. He is probably best known for his songwriting abilities, especially in the field of country rock. He co-wrote some of the biggest hits for the Eagles, including "Best of My Love", "Victim of Love", "Heartache Tonight", and "New Kid in Town". "How Long", which appears on the Eagles' Long Road Out of Eden (originally written and recorded by Souther on his first solo album in 1972). Souther recorded two major hit songs in his solo career: "You're Only Lonely" (1979) and "Her Town Too" (1981), a duet with his longtime friend James Taylor.

Considered a founder of the Laurel Canyon/ California rock music, Souther briefly dated Linda Ronstadt and co-produced her Don't Cry Now album with Peter Asher, as well as writing songs for many of her multi-platinum albums, including "Faithless Love" from Heart Like a Wheel and "White Rhythm and Blues" on Living in the USA. Souther also recorded several additional duets with Ronstadt including "Prisoner in Disguise," "Sometimes You Can't Win," and "Hearts Against the Wind," which was featured in the 1980 film Urban Cowboy. Souther has penned countless hits for other artists including Roy Orbison, James Taylor, Don Henley, George Strait, Trisha Yearwood, Brooks and Dunn, and others, while establishing a cult following as a performer with the "Souther-Hillman-Furay Band" and as a solo artist.

About our third show in march 2025!

Karla Bonoff & JD Souther Friday, Mar 28, 2025 - 8:00 PM & Saturday, Mar 29, 2025 - 8:00 PM

Although JD Souther will be here in November (due to the reschedule from his Covid cancellation in April of 2024) this will be an entirely different show!

JD Souther, a luminary of the L.A. music scene of the 70's collaborating with the Eagles and Linda Ronstadt, brings his unparalleled songwriting to the forefront, weaving together a tapestry of melodies that seamlessly blend together a lifetime of influences. Karla Bonoff's timeless songwriting has touched everyone from Bonnie Raitt to Linda Ronstadt to Wynonna. Her emotive vocals and soul-searching ballads have that effortless power to sweep audiences away. Performing together on stage once again, Karla Bonoff and JD Souther promise an evening of musical magic, where the beauty of storytelling through song takes center stage.

This is a Brand-New show, and the UCO Jazz Lab will be one of the first places it will be performed. Both Karla Bonoff and JD Souther will perform the songs that they each wrote specifically for, and that were hits for, Linda Ronstadt! Ronstadt recorded several Bonoff songs, including three on the 1976 album Hasten Down the Wind ("Someone To Lay Down Beside Me", "Lose Again" and "If He's Ever Near"), and "All My Life", a 1989 duet with Ronstadt and Aaron Neville.

Normally our Tres Amigos programs are 90 minutes. It is estimated this show will probably be almost 2 hours, and you will still be wanting more!

Doors @ 7:00 PM & Show @ 8:00 PM each night

About Us

The UCO Jazz Lab

The UCO Jazz Lab is an "off-campus" performance and teaching facility at the University of Central Oklahoma, offering jazz and alternative music educational opportunities for students who want to pursue traditional university as well as untraditional collegiate musical studies. The “Tres Amigos” have been supporting these innovative music programs since David Hornbeek (an architect) designed and built the facility in 2002 - by bringing in a guest musical artists 4 to 6 times a year to attract and focus community attention to the school and its facilities.

It seats a maximum of 180 people (160 on the floor + 20 in the balcony) in the venue before bringing down the wrath of our local and university fire marshals. Catered by "Hideaway Pizza" next door, it offers beer, wine, cocktails and food directly off the Hideaway menu. At our concerts we seat a maximum of 6 people around each table on the floor in "cabaret" seating. Every seat in the balcony is along the rail, with no one in front of you.

The Tres Amigos - Mission

Our Mission is to perpetually build our current (and future) scholarship endowments for deserving students in the UCO Jazz Music program. We do this by booking nationally known musicians / artists 4 to 5 times a year who by reputation, attract new patrons that consequently return to the facility (and school). Our first goal is to simply break even at these very special and intimate concerts. If, at the end of each season, there is any profit we donate it all to UCO for student scholarships. The producers do not make one penny. The Tres Amigos have currently established 3 different scholarships whose combined endowment totals are approaching $100,000.

The Tres Amigos is a cadre of like-minded, philanthropic, community focused individuals, currently consisting of 5 members: David Hornbeek (architect), Ray Hibbard (newspaper publisher), Fred Hall (entrepreneur and capital investor), and our two newest "D'Artagnans" - Burns Hargis (past Oklahoma State University President) and Roger Webb (past UCO President).

We do our best to provide each artist with the “Oklahoma Standard” in hospitality, once they are here. As you can see, once performers come and understand our unique relationship with the school, over the last 21 years, many have returned to support the cause.

Past Performers - Artists "Who get Us!"

Since the opening in 2002, the Tres Amigos have successfully brought in the following Past Acts: Lindsey Buckingham, Judy Collins, Boz Scaggs, Chick Corea, Wynton Marsalis, Peter Asher, George Winston, Christopher Cross, Ann Hampton Callaway (x3), Maynard Ferguson, the Tierney Sutton Band (x2), Stacey Kent (x4), David Wilcox (x3), Chris Botti (x2), John Pizzarelli (x5), Jane Monheit (x2), Kenny Rankin, Diane Schuur (x3), Jerry Jeff Walker (x2), Guy Clark (x2), Verlon Thompson (x3), Shawn Camp, Django Walker (x3), Steve Tyrell (x7), Jane Monheit (x2), Karrin Allison, Peter Cincotti (x3), Monica Mancini, Roy Rogers & Ray Manzarek (of the Doors), Ben Taylor, Karla Bonoff (x5), JD Souther (x3), and Lou Marini and the Blues Brothers Band.
