The performance schedule is Tuesday & Wednesday at 7:00 pm; Thursday through Saturday at 8:00 pm; and Sunday at 3:00 pm. Twenty-three year old jazz wunderkinds The Anderson Twins take center stage at 59E59 Theaters with their six-piece band for a Centennial celebration of legendary jazz giant Artie Shaw. Artie Shaw once famously said, "Benny Goodman played clarinet. I played music." Kicking off the first of a two-week engagement, The Anderson Twins explore this legendary rivalry between two of the jazz world's most prominent artists. For the second week, the Twins are joined by the irrepressible Daryl Sherman to celebrate Shaw in signature style. Ms. Sherman, a natural choice for this centennial celebration, was handpicked by Artie Shaw to be his vocalist when he re-formed his band in 1983 after a 25-year retirement. The show is a loving tribute to the most innovative and respected musician of the jazz and Big Band era. Tickets are $35 and are available at Ticket Central at 212-279-4200 orhttp://www.ticketcentral.com/ .
