About the event
Acclaimed Vocalist & Saxophonist GREG PICCOLO is a former member of the Roomful of Blues, having been recruited by Duke Robillard at the age of 19 as one of the earliest members of what became the Rhode Island based powerhouse group. After nearly 25 years with Roomful of Blues, Greg sensed a calling to go back to his roots and further develop his "heavy juice" sound. His "less is more" approach gave him the freedom to cover the gamut of his musical longings, which include traditional Jazz, Blues, R&B, and Rock 'n' Roll. He had compiled a well of songs which demanded their own arrangements and band configurations outside of the classic "Roomful sound." Now at seventy-three years of age, Greg Piccolo is still practicing his horn every day, writing his own material, and traveling the world with Heavy Juice. Piccolo is an example of someone who always plays from his heart. "Piccolo picks songs associated with his influences...The effect is more cool and stunning." raves ALL ABOUT JAZZ.
