Barbara Carroll

Who’s the classiest music woman in town? This boite veteran, now returning for a fall stay at a room smart enough to keep her doing these sophisticated Sunday brunches season in, season out. Trained in classical music, she’s ready to demonstrate how Bach and Billy Strayhorn mingle, and passionate about, among others, Stephen Sondheim, she’ll devote a long medley to his works. Assisting her is bassist Jay Leonhart, whose muted vocalizing adds to the unabated fun.

Sundays, 1 p.m. Starts: Oct. 2. Continues through Dec. 18, 2011
