Tony Vivano Trio 2018

Tony Vivano Trio – 2018

Pianist and Composer Tony Viviano has performed in many venues throughout Michigan and around the world. A mainstay in the Michigan jazz piano scene, he encompasses the classic styles of jazz piano artistry. Tony has opened for The John Pizzarelli Trio, Chick Corea, Herbie Mann and Arturo Sandoval. His compositional skills can be heard on his albums “Lydianosis” and “My Pal Al”, which showcase all original works uniquely intermixed with classical motifs and diverse melodies rooted in modern acoustic jazz. Borrowing from the likes of Joe Zawinul, Chick Corea, and Bud Powell, his music is harmonically refreshing and complex.

Whether it’s the “Be-Bop” styles of the 40’s, the swing of the 60’s, or the straight-ahead progressiveness of the 90’s, listening to Tony you will hear a blend of the past and present in the jazz idiom. For this performance, Tony is joined by Doug Horn, saxophones, and Kurt Krahnke, bass.
