PROJECT NATALE IS TWO BROTHERS: JOSEPH,
BASSIST AND LOU, DRUMS WHO HAVE A COMBINED 55 YEARS OF
DEDICATION TO AND A STUDY OF THE MUSICAL ART FORM THEY
REPRESENT.
ORIGINATING FROM THE PITTSBURGH AREA, THE
BROTHERS MOVED TO SOUTH EAST FLORIDA WHERE THEY RECEIVED THEIR
EDUCATION AND THEIR VAST EXPERIENCE OF DIVERSE MUSIC.
IT WAS WHILE LIVING IN FLORIDA THEY HAD THE
OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH THE GREAT WILLIAM BOONE WHO FOUND HIS
VOICE WORKING AS THE PIANIST FOR THE LATE GREAT LESTER YOUNG
AND TRUMPETER BLUE MITCHELL WHO ALSO RECORDED BOONE'S
COMPOSITIONS.
THE MELTING AND BLENDING OF INFLUENCES FROM
THE CARIBBEAN , CUBA, AND BRAZIL INTO AMERICAN JAZZ HAS MADE
THE PROJECT WHAT IT HAS COME TO BE.
THE PROJECT PRESENTS IT'S DIVERSITIES IN THEIR
PERFORMANCES AND IN THEIR RECORDINGS.
CURRENTLY LIVING AND PERFORMING IN THE DC
AREA. THEY HAVE RELEASED THEIR FIRST CD, "PYRAMIDS AND
PALMS", JAZZ COMBO FORMAT AND ARE RECEIVING AIR PLAY AND
RECORD SALES IN THE NORTH EAST UNDER THEIR OWN LABEL "INVEO"
. THEY WILL SOON BE RELEASING A VOCAL CD TITLED "AND SO
IT GOES", JAZZ TRIO CD "WHATEVER IT TAKES" AND
"M & M" WHICH WILL BE ELECTRIC JAZZ.
THE BROTHERS HAVE SHARED CONCERT STAGES WITH
SUCH GREATS AS THE DUKE ELLINGTON BAND, RICHARD ELLIOTT,
BUSTER WILLIAMS AND OTHERS.
