The Frank & Joe Show: Looking for a Long, Happy Run
by R.J. DeLuke
Back in the 1960s, after the British Invasion, it seemed every block had a band and anyone who knew three chords on a guitar joined in. Maybe they couldn't really play guitar, and the drummer might have sounded like he should be washing pots and pans, not banging on them. But it was all among friends ...
Frank Vignola and Joe Ascione: 33 1/3: The Frank & Joe Show
by J. Robert Bragonier
If you were in New York City some Sunday night and you should chance to wander by the nightclub Sweet Rhythm, you would experience a musical happening of ever-increasing proportions.

The Frank and Joe Show: The Hoot Factor at Sweet Rhythm
by Dr. Judith Schlesinger
These guys are a hoot. On first hearing Frank & Joe's debut CD on Hyena Records, 33 1/3 , I e-mailed Joe that very thought, and he wrote back, “what is this 'hoot'?" I said it refers to something that's fun and delightful, like their CD. Turns out it's also a hoot to watch “The Frank ...

Frank Vignola: Off Broadway
by C. Michael Bailey
The 2000 Series. No, this is not the 2000 World Series, handily won by the New York Yankees. This is the contemporary jazz series being produced by German Label Nagel-Heyer. When I say contemporary jazz, I mean that in the temporal sense. It is music being freshly composed and performed today. The majority of Nagel-Heyer's catalog ...
Frank Vignola: Deja Vu
by Jim Santella
Songs by Cream, Carole King, Bob Marley, Isaac Hayes, Elvis Costello, David Crosby, Sting, and John Lennon make up much of Frank Vignola's latest album. The guitarist treats them with respect, offering familiar melodies and standard rhythms while stepping up occasionally to improvise. Vignola's smooth guitar sound embellishes each favorite tune; he's supported by drums, electric ...
