All That Jazz

All That Jazz is a solid jazz ensemble out of Punta Gorda and Sarasota, Florida. James Williams (piano and vocals), Punta Gorda, hails from the San Francisco Bay Area; Bob Miner (saxophone) came to Punta Gorda from Albuquerque, New Mexico; Joe Bruno, Sr. (trumpet and flugelhorn), who's led bands in Boston, Las Vegas, and Sarasota; Joe Bruno, Jr. (bass and vocals) a native of Sarasota; Dave Morgan (drums and vibes), Englewood, FL.
We play jazz standards drawing from the 1920s New Orleans tradition through the great swing bands of the 1930s and 1940s to the Be-Bop of artists like Charley Parker, Thelonius Monk, and Horace Silver, and we cover Sinatra and the Rat Pack and Latin tunes. A normal gig starts with a set we choose, and then the evening proceeds with audience requests. Scroll to the bottom of the page for a couple of music samples.
Other musicians who join us from time to time include Dominik Teyke (drums), who began his musical career in Berlin, Germany, and resides in Sarasota; Isaac Mingus (bass), Sarasota; Bruce Wallace (bass), Dave Pruyn (trumpet), Natalie Barber (sax/clarinet/flute), Harley Sommerfeld (sax/clarinet/flute), Jack Keeling (sax/clarinet/flute) Tim Eaton (trumpet), Bob Feldman (clarinet), Kay Carter (trumpet), Don Mopsick (bass), Fred Hunter (bass), Chris Stevens (trombone), Daniel Klimoski (saxophone), Shawn Doolittle (drums), Don Dean (drums), and Lenny Balistreri (drums), Glenn Paladino (piano), Judy Glover (piano). Every musician who plays with us is top-notch!

We are available for bookings as a quintet, quartet, or trio in the Charlotte Harbor area from Punta Gorda north through Port Charlotte, Englewood, North Port, Venice, and Sarasota, and south through Ft. Myers and Naples.

Contact us for a rate sheet, and let's talk about a gig for you!
