Since 1965, guitarist Frank DiBussolo has been gracing concert halls and studios alike with his technical proficiency and smooth, emotionally astute style across the fretboard throughout a fortuitous career that includes collaborations and appearances with such greats as Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, and Dizzy Gillespie. The eight-time Grammy-nominated artist has also developed a wide reputation as an expert educator with a genuine interest in the up-and-comers of the jazz world. Thus the Frank DiBussolo Group was born. The group's approach exemplifies what is already inherent to these songs, an inner soul that adapts to any configuration and context. And it's no wonder, for human connections are what this intimate cabaret for the new millennium is all about. There is a $25 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.
