Danny Tobias and Friends
Sunday, January 16, 2022 at 2pm

INDOOR CONCERT & LIVE STREAM

Community Arts Center

During the past decade, Danny Tobias has emerged as one of TSJS’ most favored musicians, having appeared with the Midiri Brothers Sextet, Marty Grosz's Hot Winds, David Ostwald’s Louis Armstrong Eternity Band, and as a leader in his own right, including the annual All-Star Concerts. On this latest occasion. Danny will be joined by two illustrious NYC-based musicians: multi-instrumentalist and bandleader Vince Giordano (another veteran TSJS performer, here playing string bass, tuba, and bass sax) and pianist Conal Fawkes, plus reed man/violinist/mandolinist Dennis Lichtman and drummer/vocalist Jim Lawlor; also a TSJS stalwart). Equally at home with a cornet or trumpet, Tobias brings beautiful shape and individuality to his jazz performances. Playing professionally since the age of 15, he’s best known for traditional jazz and swing, either reproducing classic arrangements or artful improvisation with the music of “The Jazz Age” at Tri-State Jazz Society’s concert at Community Arts Center, on Sunday, January 16, 2022 at 2:00 p.m.

414 Plush Mill Road
Wallingford, PA 19086

Tri-State Jazz favorite Danny Tobias returns with a quintet including the famed multi-instrumentalist Vince Giordano, pianist Conal Fowkes and clarinetist/violinist Dennis Lichtman from New York City.  A much sought-after musician identified by his lyrical phrasing and fat, relaxed tone, Tobias can frequently be heard performing with the Midiri Brothers, Jerry Rife's Rhythm Kings, Stan Rubin, Jon-Erik Kellso, Vince Giordano's Nighthawks, Ed Wise and his New Orleans Jazz Band, and other leading traditional jazz and swing groups.
