It’s a full time job to keep up with the performance schedule of virtuoso Frank Russo, which is why your best bet to follow Frank is to check his website twice a day and perhaps even more often. He really needs his own personal text message alert system so we can sign up and be alerted whenever he’s performing nearby so we can go!
He was not only part of the St. Michael’s Jazz Festival back in October of this year, he performed with virtually every act, including two I was lucky enough to catch: the MARS 4Tet on their own, and then later backing Philadelphia Jazz phenomenon Joanna Pascale, who brought the house down.
Frank and the MARS 4Tet have a new recording soon to be released via Summit Records. We will let you know about it as soon as we know anything more.
But in the meantime you definitely need to hear any show in which Frank is participating. He’s a remarkable drummer and works with the best musicians in the biz. This coming Sunday, December 15, he’ll be at the Ram’s Head Tavern in Savage Mill from 11 AM to 2 PM, and later that same day from 7 PM to 9 PM he’ll be performing with the Capital City Voices at the brand new Jazzy’s Lounge in Bowie, Maryland. And this is what I’m talking about! I LIVE in Bowie and I didn’t even know Jazzy’s Lounge was open yet, but here’s Frank not only performing there, it’s no Ft his only show that day. *whew* I’m exhausted just typing all of this. For the latest, greatest info about his schedule, see his schedule at his own website.
