About
Twelve-year-old jazz trumpet phenom Geoff Gallante will lead his own quartet in a
program of jazz standards. Chris Botti, Columbia Records jazz recording star says, "... incredible talent... I've never seen such a rare gift." By the age of six Geoff Gallante had already performed as a guest soloist with the Duke Ellington Orchestra and the U.S. Army Blues Jazz Orchestra - on the steps of the U.S. Capitol. Geoff has shared the stage with such jazz icons as Maynard Ferguson, Bucky Pizzarelli, and Chris Botti, and performed on stages in thirty-two states across the country, including premier jazz and concert venues such as Andy's (Chicago), Iridium (New York City), Blues Alley (Washington, D.C.), and the Kennedy Center (Washington). He is also the youngest instrumentalist ever to be invited to play at the White House in Washington. Geoff's network TV credits include the "Tonight Show" with Jay Leno and NBC's "Today Show."...
