On Tuesday, April 16, from 7-10 PM, one month before their new CD is released internationally,
Philadelphia –based The Jost Project
is having a Preview Party concert at Chris’ Jazz Café, 1421 Sansom Street in
Philadelphia. There is a $10 cover
charge for the party with a $5 charge for students. Band members are internationally renowned
vibraphonist Tony Miceli, vocalist/harmonicist Paul Jost, acoustic bassist Kevin
MacConnell and drummer Charlie Patierno.
Their new CD, ”Can’t Find My Way Home”, will be released on May 15 by
Dot Time Records, the jazz and world music label based in NY and Europe. This talented group has a unique specialty. They are reaching the generations that came
of age with rock and roll and The Beatles and bringing their attention to jazz. The group was initially formed by Miceli and
MacConnell with the idea of performing rock music of the 60’s and 70’s in a
jazz format. When Jost joined the group,
it was named The Jost Project. All three members of the group are
exceptionally talented and have had years of success independently. Tony, a Philadelphia native, conducts master
classes at the world-renowned Curtis Institute of Music in addition to
performing and compiling CDs. Peter
Jost, a resident of Vineland NJ is a prolific composer in addition to being a performer
and has composed over 40 CDs. Kevin
MacConnell, highly respected on the jazz scene, resides in Spring City, Pa and
has made national and international performances with a variety of stars. Don’t miss the party on April 16th. Come and hear
The Jost Project present their unique
jazz interpretations of such songs as Walk
This Way and Maybe I’m Amazed before
the CD is released in May.
