FRANK VIGNOLA AND VINNY RANIOLO IN AN EVENING OF GYPSY JAZZ

FRANK VIGNOLA AND VINNY RANIOLO IN AN EVENING OF GYPSY JAZZ

Germano's PIATTINI and the Associated Italian American Charities proudly present guitar virtuosos Frank Vignola and Vinny Raniolo inAn Evening of Gypsy Jazz, the Little Italy Madonnari Arts Festival Kickoff Cabaret. Vignola and Raniolo honor the music and style of Django Reinhardt, the Gypsy guitar genius who, with violinist Stephane Grappelli, formed the core of the legendary Hot Club of France Quintet in the 1930s and 40s. Frank Vignola shatters the barriers between popular music and traditional jazz to create a powerful new acoustic string music experience. His amazing virtuosity mixes high-energy, unique renditions of famous classical pieces, great American popular songs and contemporary tunes.

"How versatile is Frank Vignola? He's collaborated with Lionel Hampton and Madonna, covers Mozart and Black Sabbath on the same record and is one of Les Paul's favorite guitarists." - Joan Anderman, Boston Globe

"There is little in this world so awe-inspiring as witnessing total mastery of a musical instrument. Like seeing Yo-Yo Ma play the cello or Placido Domingo belt out an aria - sometimes a performer's perfection can elevate a piece of music to heights beyond the realm of imagination. By all accounts, Frank Vignola conjures just that sort of magic with his acoustic guitar."
