Alfonso has a style steeped in swing, blues and modern jazz. With a trumpet style reminiscent of Miles Davis and Freddie Hubbard, he has long since developed his own very personal style on the trumpet and vocals. In a long and diverse musical career that includes a stint with Joe Cocker, he has worked with many jazz luminaries including Mario Pavone, Michael Mussillami, Bill Lowe, Ed Blackwell, Joe Fonda, Tom Chapin, Andy Jaffee, Fred Simmons and the late Bill Barron. A composer, arranger and educator, Alfonso’s group performs modern jazz standards and original compositions as he carries on the tradition of high quality swing and modern jazz improvisation. Suggested donation is $15.00 at the door. For more information, call 860-688-2528 or visit www.windsorartcenter.org. |
