Chris Conte (Vocals & Upright Bass) Jay Azzolina ( Guitar) Joe Farnsworth (Drums) Darren Litzie (Piano) Andrew Swift (Aux Percussion) "Over many years I have heard the very best renditions of the American Songbook, and I believe that with his authenticity and sensitivity, Chris Conte belongs in the top tier of performers in this genre, not only as a vocalist but also as a bassist. It's music you want to get into bed with." - Tom Milton (Author, Educator, Jazz Enthusiast) Vocalist and Upright Bassist, Chris Conte performs classic, swinging American Songbook jazz & blues favorites. He takes influence from musical legends, such as Nat "King" Cole, Tony Bennett, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Harry Connick Jr., and Diana Krall, while his voice is often compared to that of a young Chet Baker or Mel Torme. His performance will satisfy audiences of all types. While his singing, bass playing, and band mates will be featured, the real stars of the night are the timeless songs. "Simply put: soft, sophisticated, sonorous." - Cathy and Jim Karas
