NYC: THE ROSSANO SPORTIELLO TRIO DEBUTS AT THE CAFE CARLYLE

NYC: THE ROSSANO SPORTIELLO TRIO DEBUTS AT THE CAFE CARLYLE

THE CAFE CARLYLE (35 East 76th Street, NYC - 212-744-1600) has announced that The Rossano Sportiello Trio will debut at the Cafe for a two week engagement running Tuesdays through Saturdays, June 11th through 22nd at 8:45 pm. The trio features Rossano Sportiello on piano, Frank Tate on bass (June 11-15), Joel Forbes on bass (June 18-22), and Dennis Mackrel on drums. The Trio will be performing their program, The Smiling Piano: A Tribute To The Artistry Of Jazz Piano Icon George Shearing. A tribute to George Shearing means a tribute to jazz piano in general. Mr. Shearing's style was first inspired by Fats Waller, Teddy Wilson, and Art Tatum. But Shearing soon became one the masters of be-bop. A Shearing tribute is also naturally a tribute to The Great American Song Book, because he was one of its greatest interpreters and one of the most remarkable improvisers of all time, as well as a very prolific composer. Stride piano, swing, be-bop, the Great American Song Book and classical music are the leading ingredients that shape the Trio's tribute. There is a $65 music charge ($45 bar seating) Tuesday through Thursday and a $75 music charge ($50 bar seating) for shows on Friday and Saturday.
