Updates

Hi everyone. I have to apologize if anybody tried to access the site last month, a hacker got to my page and messed it up substantially. I also have to update my info on the shows with David Tronzo and Garth Stevenson, they will now take place on April 10th in Kittery ME, and April 11th in Cambridge MA. Garth is currently in Antarctica, Stevenson on Ice!

In other news I have been writing a lot of new music and am getting my Neapolitan band together where I’ll be playing mandolin, more on that later. I’ll be visiting my family near Naples next month for the first time in 12 years and am looking forward to it immensely! More music will be up soon.

Moving Along

I’m happy to update and say that at least a couple of dates are set for a short winter tour with David Tronzo and Garth Stevenson up north. We’ll be playing at the Buoy, a performance venue I’ve been hearing a lot about in Kittery ME, right by Portsmouth NH on January 30th, then at the Lily Pad in Cambridge that Sunday night the 31st. I’ve never actually played at the Lily Pad, but have attended many shows there and am looking forward to it. For now, if you’re in the city, please come by and check out a brief set of Christmas music I’ll be doing with bassist Chris Tordini at Caffe Vivaldi this Saturday December 12th in the Village at 6pm. Otherwise have a happy holiday season!

Mike Kelley’s Day is Done

Next week I’ll be playing a few nights at the Judson Church on Washington Square Park as part of artist Mike Kelley’s Day is Done, a performance art piece that recreates old yearbook photos. I’ll be playing number 9:

The shows will be the headlining act of the Performa ‘09 Festival, and we’ll be playing the 17,18, and 19th of November at 8 and 10 pm, at the Judson Church. Should be cool! I know Mike Kelley most as the man who made this:

Sorry for the past week.

Sorry the site has been down for about a week, I had to renew my domain, etc. More news soon,
Jon

More music.

Hello, here are the final samples from the show with David Tronzo and Garth Stevenson, soon I’ll put up a couple from our recent show with Tony Falco on drums.

A version of Keith Jarrett’s Prayer:

A longer improvised segment:

One more…

Here’s another short clip from the Boston show with David Tronzo and Garth Stevenson:

A little audio test

Here’s a short sample from our last show, with David Tronzo on guitar, and Garth Stevenson on bass. This was recorded at Ryles in Cambridge, MA on June 4th, 2009.

Update for July 31st.

In lieu of going fishing today, I stayed home and finished updating a couple parts of the new site. Press reviews are now finished, as well as my new abbreviated bio. If anybody knows of a good way to display the press reviews as one sentence that expands to the full review when you click on it, please let me know at jondelucia at gmail, or comment here. In other news, I’m trying to get a few performances together in the North East with the Tronzo, Garth Trio, more on that as it develops. For now, it’s time to get back to practicing, for no particular reason, Jacques Ibert’s Concertino da Camera.

Friday’s show

The show was a lot of fun last week, thanks to those who came. Tronzo and Garth really made the music happen. It was nice to have all that extra sonic space without a drummer playing, nice and difficult too. Stay tuned for a sound clip or two from the show.

Ryles 6/26/09

June 26th

On June 26th I will have the pleasure of performing with guitarist David Tronzo and bassist Garth Stevenson in a trio format at Ryles in Boston. I’m going to try and record the show, hope you can make it!
