The Anthony Joseph ‘Swingtet’
By admin · Sunday, September 1
The Anthony Joseph ‘Swingtet’ has become especially popular among music enthusiasts who appreciate the refreshing new energy that the group brings to various classic jazz standards and ballads that have stood the test of time. The group offers the listener a ‘swingin’ sound that is smooth, sweet, and in the groove. It is also quite obvious that the band genuinely enjoys performing and will naturally develop a friendly rapport with their audience. They received a SAMMY award nomination for their 2007 cd which was recorded as a trio.
Usually performing as a small combo, the Music Hall (Sept. 14) will bring the full swingtet to the stage, comprised of Central New York favorites— Joe Ferlo on guitar; Mike Solazzo, upright bass; Joe Cortini, drums; Bill Palange, trombone; and Anthony Joseph on clarinet & vocals. Their program will include jazz standards and ballads from the Great American Songbook of Jazz, with a special tribute to the music of Syracuse native Jimmy Van Heusen.
