Downtown Atlanta became livelier with the reopening of the Rialto Center for the Performing Arts in November after 20 months. A festive concert this Saturday continues the merriment as the Rialto presents acclaimed vocalist Calabria Foti, her husband, virtuoso trombonist Bob McChesney, and their band with a program of holiday-themed music. Foti and McChesney joined “City Lights” host Lois Reitzes via Zoom to talk about this special night of holiday music and their special relationship born out of a mutual love of jazz.
