NYC: THE FRANK DIBUSSOLO GROUP: SONGS TO WRITE HOME ABOUT
The Frank DiBussolo Group performs atTHE METROPOLITAN ROOM (34 West 22nd Street, NYC - 212-206-0440) on Saturday, July 19th at 9:30 pm. 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. It has assembled a well-chosen program of standards from the swing era that best showcases each member's strongest colors. From the cool greens of the bandleader's picking and vocalist Tiffany Grochowski's swatch of lavenders to bassist Steven Liu's earthen tones and drummer Bryan Tuk's cobalt timekeeping, there is much to soak in. 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.
