Terry Waldo, an undisputed master of Stride and Ragtime, makes an anticipated return to Dizzy’s Club after selling out the club with his Gotham City Band a few years back. A musician and performer foremost, Waldo is also a renowned educator and a recent instructor at Jazz at Lincoln Center Swing University. Known for his dry wit, Waldo has the well-earned reputation for bringing laugh-out load humor to live concert settings in the vein of performers like Fats Waller.
