33 1/3

The Frank & Joe Show is an irresistible melting pot of musical styles and persuasions. There’s gypsy swing crossed with breezy island grooves; the American high lonesome sound infused with modern jazz; classic pop standards filtered through acoustic roots improvisation—all the while propelled by delectable rhythms that would bring pause to 1970s’ Latin rock bands like Santana and War. Comprised of virtuoso guitarist Frank Vignola and master percussionist Joe Ascione, the group follows in the great tradition of stellar duos including Steely Dan, The Everly Brothers and Hall & Oates.

On their debut album, 33 1/3, produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Joel Dorn, The Frank & Joe Show deliver a knockout punch, so purely listenable, it renders the word ear candy useless. With special guests including Jane Monheit, Dr. John and Janis Siegel of Manhattan Transfer lending a hand, The Frank and Joe Show are on their way to defining the new standard. Music this good couldn’t do anything less!
