About Jerry:
In another time and place, Jerry Costanzo wouldn’t be interpreting the Great American Songbook. It’s likely he’d be conceiving it.
Midwest Record- deemed the luminous vocalist and bandleader
“A cat that knows how to swing it 50s style and could give Steve Tyrell and few pointers on how to sharpen it up to get his groove back. . .“
while Jazz.com raved, “As all great singers do, he tells a story.”

“I finally got to see Jerry Costanzo in the last of his seven appearances at Feinstein's at the Loew's Regency "The band and arrangements made the evening extra special. I was grateful to be there to see the ensemble"
"It was an excellent musical evening. My only regret was that I did not get to see Jerry’s show sooner"
-Ron Forman- On the town Columnist at Conirnescorner.com

Raised in a musical family, Costanzo’s musical stencil was etched with the likes of Sinatra, Sammy, Dino, Perry Como, Count Basie, Mel Torme, Jerry Vale and Nat King Cole. He was playing saxophone by third grade, and developed chops as a performer studying acting at New York’s Herbert Berghof Studio. A stint as personal aid and chauffeur for Al Pacino further apprised Costanzo to the arts, before he joined his father Joseph’s big band, The Memories Of Swing, first on sax and then as the outfit’s lead vocalist. While well into his 30s before the New Yorker recognized his calling card—bringing his musical idols back to life—Costanzo is making up for lost time. Today, the man behind the mic is a full-time troubadour and bandleader, surrounded by a Who’s Who of the jazz world. With two full length CD releases under his belt “Destination Moon and his latest release Can’t We Be Friend’s?”, and a 3rd on the way, has earned Costanzo a dedicated live following, with gigs including the Annual Sinatra Birthday Bash at The Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank, N.J., Lincoln Centers Mid Summer Night Swing, New York’s Metropolitan Room, Kitano Jazz, Feinstein’s at The Loews Regency and Waldorf Astoria, The Long Island, N.Y., Tilles Center for the Performing Arts, Hofstra University’s Performing Art's Center tribute to Perry Como, Foxwood's Casino & Resorts and dozens of concert series, festivals and private posh gigs nationally and worldwide.
