Dave Solazzo teaches jazz piano at Cornell University and has played and recorded with jazz luminaries such as Eric Alexander, Joe Magnarelli, Joel Frahm and Jon Gordon at venues like the Savannah Jazz Festival, the Syracuse Jazz Fest and The Flatiron Room in New York City. Bassist Matthew Vacanti and drummer Bill D’Agostino comprise the rhythm section known as “The Bridge.” They have worked together and separately for over three decades, laying down foundations for Joey DeFrancisco, Ron Jackson, Kevin
Mahogany, The Temptations and Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, to name a few. These three exceptional first call sidemen combined to become leaders of their own, developing original compositional ideas. After a single rehearsal, they simply booked a studio and hit record. The three had never played together as a unit before recording but the resulting music on Locrian Skye, the group's debut record, is raw, real and in the moment. It is a loose, spontaneous collaboration that captures a uniquely original take
on the Post Bop sound.
