The Last time these two got together it was a first time and it went over incredibly well. Barry Greene is absolutely wonderful on the guitar with his amazing technique and musicality. Bob As you probably know by now is able to play in many different styles and the two of them hit it off musically without a glitch. It should be fun so come on out and here them.

Stan Piper on bass will be joining Bob Fraioli on piano.
A great duo with "New York" class !!
Usually described as a multi-dimensional and versatile bass player, Stan was always known by his teachers and peers as someone who easily adapted to any musical setting. Stan was first inspired from the popular jam band Phish, a band that is well known for their extended improvisations, intricate compositions, and blending numerous genres of music into one sound. With a healthy appetite for various styles of music, Stan’s wide range of influences include rock and heavy metal bands such as Metallica, Pantera, and Megadeath, fusion artists such as Wayne Krantz, Gary Willis, and John Scofield, and jazz masters like Ray Brown, Oscar Peterson, Charles Mingus, and Ron Carter.
