Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola rings in the New Year with an all-star band and two exciting sets of live music and specialty menus. Clarinetist/ saxophonist Paquito D’Rivera, a Carnegie Hall Lifetime Achievement Award-winner and NEA Jazz Master fresh off of winning this year’s Best Latin Jazz Album — his 14th Grammy — brings his band to the stage. The show reflects his passion for utilizing Cuban, Brazilian, Venezuelan, Martiniquean, Puerto Rican, Austrian, French, Mexican, German, and sounds from many more countries into the universal language of jazz and bebop. D’Rivera’s infectious blend regularly sells out top concert halls in New York, but he also knows how to channel his magic into the club setting, working crowds into a frenzy with deceptive ease. D’Rivera’s musicians include pianist Alex Brown, steel pan player Victor Provost, drummer Eric Doob, bassist Zach Brown, percussionist Arturo Stable, and violinist Eduardo Coma. Broadway at 60th St., fifth fl. Dec. 31, 7:30 p.m. & 11 p.m. Tickets are $175 (7 p.m., including a three-course, Latin-inspired menu); $285 (11 p.m.; three-course menu, plus a midnight champagne toast) at ticketing.jazz.org/single/SelectSeating.aspx?p=5447 or by calling CenterCharge at 212-721-6500.
