Vince Tampio Quartet

Trumpeter/flugelhorn player Vince Tampio brings his quartet to The Living Room so you can start the holiday weekend in jazzy style. He'll be joined by Gabe Preston on tenor sax, baritone sax and flute; Micah Graves on keyboard; and Brendan McGeehan on electric bass.

What's been said:
Tampio's original music has been described as "a contemporary instance of fusion done right," and whose "nontraditional instrumentation maintains a spacious environment that proves ideal for a set brimming with imaginative, drawn-out improvisation."
- Matthew Aquiline, All About Jazz

"His horn croons and wahs with touches of funk or blues, bridging the futuristic digital age with a snazzy sense of classic cool."
- Geno Thackara, All About Jazz

Basically hes the go-to cross-genre horn-blowing utility man of the Philly scene."
- John Vettese, The Key, WXPN
