Jazz & Blues Showcase feat. Joe Magnarelli

Our third spring show on Sunday, May 21st features an all-star quartet led by internationally renowned trumpeter JOE MAGNARELLI.  Award-winning baritone saxophonist FRANK BASILE adds a second horn to his ensemble, while jazz organ giant PAT BIANCHI, the late guitar legend Pat Martino’s organist of choice, and standout drummer BYRON LANDHAM complete the group.

Syracuse native Magnarelli’s artistry has delighted audiences across the U.S. and abroad for more than three decades.  He’s received awards from the Thelonious Monk International Trumpet Competition and from Downbeat magazine, with Downbeat also naming him as “one of the top five, over 30 post bebop trumpet players today.”  He’s performed with a host of jazz elites in his career.  Among them are Rosemary Clooney, Lionel Hampton, Buddy Rich, Ray Barretto, John Pizzarelli and Harry Connick, Jr. He also continues to record frequently. His 2022 “New York Osaka Junction” is his latest CD.
