The Barbone Street Jazz Band Steve Barbone - Clarinet, leaderCindy Vidal - Trombone Sonny Troy - Guitar Mike Piper - Drums Adam Hershberger - Trumpet Jonathan Davenport - Bass Steve Barbone has been playing clarinet for 60 years and has shared a stage with, among others, jazz legends Coleman Hawkins, Roy Eldridge, Yank Lawson, Walter Bishop Jr., Gene Schroeder, Roswell Rudd, Sidney Bechet, Thelonious Monk, Bob Haggart, Pee Wee Erwin and Miff Mole. He's been a mainstay in New York, Philadelphia and European Jazz Clubs including Nick’s, Eddie Condon’s, The Savoy, the Cinderella Club, the Melody Lounge, the Stuyvesant Casino, Ortlieb’s Jazz Haus, Le Cave, the JazKeller and the Vieux Colunbier. Cindy Vidal has been a professional jazz musician for more than 15 years. She has a master's degree in music, with a trombone major, from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, plays regularly in the pit orchestras at the Walnut Street and Prince Music Theaters, and has toured with Barry Manilow. She also has a great singing voice!
Well-known on the Philadelphia jazz scene, Sonny Troy has been playing jazz guitar for 60-odd years. He made his first record at age 11 with Frankie Avalon--who was playing trumpet at the time. As a teenager, Sonny played in Las Vegas with Louis Prima before joining Peggy Lee for an extended tour of the West Coast. He's worked with the Harry James Band, toured with Fabian, and eventually returned east to play lead guitar on the Mike Douglas Show. He's Bobby Rydell’s and Frankie Avalon’s first-call guitarist for local gigs.
Drummer Mike Piper's father, Ray Charles' tour drummer, bought him his first drum set when he was 6. Mike cut his teeth on rock and roll before moving on to become a 35-plus-year regular on the jazz scene. He was with Paul Grant’s New Orleans Swing at the Showboat Casino and has been energizing Barbone Street since 2008.
Trumpeter Adam Hershberger and bassist Jonathan Davenport are members of Philadelphia's Perserverance Jazz Band. According to veteran Steve Barbone, "Both of these men are in their 20s and are fine examples of the new blood that is interested in the hot jazz of Louis Armstrong, Sidney Bechet, et al. The Perseverance Jazz Band has been performing for 3 years at swing dances, parties, weddings and various clubs/restaurants. They have developed a growing audience of young people who listen and dance to our kind of music. They are both EXCELLENT jazz musicians and I am pleased to be working with them in both Barbone Street and in Perseverance Jazz Bands."
