He will highlight material from the critically acclaimed “Speak Your Truth.” Saxophonist Perry Contichhio, a DC artist is blasting the scene wide open with his passion and grit. Conticchio has been garnering praise endlessly from Jazz critics across the U.S. and Internationally. He has been likened to such legends as John Coltrane, Dexter Gordon, Hank Mobely, Frank Wess and Sonny Rollins. Conticchio not only has the historical language of his ancestors within his lines and articulation, but the fire and flair of his own voice mixed in to the recipe. Dan McClenaghan of All About Jazz explains, “Conticchio displays great chops and a tone that is tart and robust, with clean, sharp articulation; and like Dexter before him, he blows the hell out of the horn, with an engaging chip on the shoulder (with a grin) attitude.” write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Jazz News :: home page |
