On Tuesday, May 4, 2010, The Les Paul Trio, under the leadership of longtime Les Paul sideman Lou Pallo, wowed the crowd gathered at B.B. King Blues Club at the Annual 2010 MAC Awards (Manhattan Association of Cabarets and Clubs). Michael Bloomberg, The Mayor of the City of New York, has proclaimed June 9, 2010, "Les Paul Day," which would have been Les' 95th birthday. There will be celebrations all this week at Iridium Jazz Club, which was home for Les and his Trio, for thirteen years.
