FRANK VIGNOLA GROUP
also special guest
NATALIE AMENDOLA
One of the premier acoustic jazz guitarists on the scene today, Frank Vignola has launched a new all-star collective featuring some of the acoustic music scene's hottest young players. Melding contemporary gypsy jazz, bluegrass, toe-tapping swing and front porch picking into a uniquely eclectic, upbeat sound of their own, this group is sure to amaze fans of the various styles and genres it employs. At times sublime, controlled and elegant, these innovators can instantly change gears to wildly imaginative improvisation and nasty, hot picking. Think Django Reinhardt meets Jerry Reed with some flashes of Bach and Miles Davis.
Mark O'Connor said "Frank Vignola is the perfect guitarist, really. He knows every chord under the sun, he can drive the rhythm so hard that you really don't need any more of a rhythm section practically for anything. And then when he begins his solos, one knows immediately that the music making is on the highest plane. Frank is a soloist to the very extreme limits that you would assume a solist could ever be, a genuine virtuoso." This is why Frank Vignola is one of the most sought after acoustic guitarists on the planet. In addition to Mark O'Connor, Vignola has toured and recorded with Madonna, Elton John, Ringo Starr, Les Paul, Lionel Hampton, Donald Fagen, Queen Latifah, David Grisman, Bucky Pizzarelli, Howard Alden, Gene Bertoncini and many more.
