"Bob Fraioli is one of St. Augustine’s musical treasures, a musician so good you’d expect him to be playing with all the big names in jazz in New York. In fact, that’s where life began for him but later moved to California, not to mention service in Vietnam, before settling in Palm Coast.
Piano was an early passion, studying classical piano at Jacksonville University but it was jazz that really beckoned to him - he began played boogie-woogie when was 8. One of his lifelong regrets is that he avoided the opportunity of studying with one of his idols. the great Oscar Peterson because of extenuating family reasons. But that didn’t stop him listening to everything by Oscar and his other great idol Bill Evans.

But that didn’t stop him listening to everything by Oscar and his other great idol Bill Evans.

Playing jazz has been a lifetime passion for him but it’s had its problems because Bob, surprisingly, is partially deaf, which, as he says, makes it real difficult to play in bands so solo piano or trio and quartet work has been his main staple.

His describes his gig for almost four years now at the Tini Martini Bar on the bayfront in St. Augustine as just wonderful. You can catch him there on Thursdays and Saturdays from 5.30 pm playing his jazz and just about everything else that the customers request. There’s very little he says no to but ask for Oscar or Bill Evans and Bob’s in his heaven. Treat yourself and go see one of our local treasures."

Scott Mariesh

“A prominent drummer on the Chicago jazz scene, many great musicians often sought Scott out as their first choice for a drummer. This environment allowed Scott to develop his modern and engaging approach, and apply it to the variety of musical styles to which he was asked to perform. In 1999 he released his first compact disc, “BREATH” (recorded live to two track at C.E. Mikter Studios). It is available at CDbaby.com and features Vinson Johnson (reeds), Robert Applebaum (piano), and Michel Cristol (bass). By the time he left Chicago the “Scott Mariash Trio” was performing at various clubs and was the official group for the Chicago jazz club “Delaney & Murphy”.”

Scott is the son of prominent show business performers. With his gene pool it is no wonder that Scott has forged his own creative personality.
