Saxophone Flirting

Yesterday we went to Grapefest in Grapevine, Texas. It is the largest wine festival in the Southwest with fun for everyone. There are carnival rides plus fun and games for the kids in addition to live music and beverages for the adults.

The best music we heard at Grapefest was Joseph Vincelli and his jazz band. Joseph is a native of New Jersey, although the Dallas Morning News has fondly embraced him as a long time resident of Texas. After spending his childhood in Eatontown, a community along the Jersey shore, he studied in Boston at the prestigous Berklee College of Music. It is here that he learned a deep appreciate for the art of improvisation. Joseph took his knowledge and set off for New York City and Los Angeles, giving him many career opportunities.

During this ten year stint, he toured and recorded with Buddy Miles, Ice Cube, Bobby Goldsboro, Jerry Vale, and Burt Reynolds. Also, Joseph wrote for several film scores and movies, commercials, and jingles. Looking for a quieter life, he moved to Dallas, Texas where he currently resides. This is Joseph using his saxophone to flirt with a lady in the audience.
