This new exciting sound is more than “HOT” jazz. It’s a melding of contemporary gypsy jazz, bluegrass, toe-tapping swing, blues and acoustic rock, and great renditions of old standards, all performed by some of the best players on the music scene today.

The Frank Vignola Quintet has shattered the barriers between popular music and traditional jazz to create an exciting new sound in acoustic string music. Their repertoire together with the amazing virtuosity puts them in a league by themselves, in essence creating a new genre of music. They are like no other band— mixing high-energy original material with new unique renditions of contemporary tunes by the likes of The Police, Frank Zappa, Black Sabbath and even Slayer. The quintet also taps into the standard songbook, creating unique interpretations of classic jazz tunes. Showing superior versatility, Vignola and the band also tackle new arrangements of Bach and Mozart. To quote the great mandolinist Jeff Pinkham, “This is the best string band on the planet”. Their high-octane performances and good-time vibe never fail to bring astounded fans to their feet. Audiences appreciate and revel in their uncanny ability to take a great melody line and include incredible solos and instrumental work, yet never straying too far from the integrity of the tune. Thrilling original compositions peppered with jaw-dropping renditions of popular favorites make a FVQ show an unforgettable experience.
