New Jersey native John Petrucelli leverages his diverse background to provide a hard charging, heavily improvisational based performance on this week’s program. From his beginnings on the Trenton and Newark jazz scenes, to his work with Delfeayo Marsalis’ Uptown Jazz Orchestra in New Orleans to his work with the NYYS Jazz Orchestra and Electric Trio, John mixes these influences into a powerful saxophone sound.
From an October 28th, 2022 performance and featuring Tommy Lehman on Trumpet, Joey Skoch on Piano, Jordan McBride on Bass, Zaire Darden on drums and John Petrucelli on Saxophone, it’s the John Petrucelli Quintet – Live at the Bop Stop.
