Paolo opens the 2014 Living Room Concert Series in Sedona

Paolo opens the 2014 Living Room Concert Series in a solo concert on Wednesday, January 8th at the Center for Positive Living, located at 45 Castle Rock Road, Suite 1A in the Village of Oak Creek. Concerts are from 7:00pm to 8:15pm. Doors open at 6:30pm.

$10.00 admission at the door (cash only) - Seating is limited to 40.

Paolo got his start in music from the very young age of 5 years living in Youngstown Ohio. His Mom and Dad loved the arts and entertainment. So as the first born…like it or not…he got music lessons, then painting and dance lessons...and finally residential architecture. It must have been a good fit because he now sings and swings in Sedona, and designs houses during the day!

Paolo brings the vintage songs of the past back to life with a fresh vocal twist. He is inspired by the genius songwriters of the 20th Century, like Cole Porter, Ira Gershwin, and Antonio Carlos Jobim, and by vocal artists like Frank Sinatra, Billy Holiday, Jonny Mathis, and Bobby Vinton. Paolo creates his own musical style from his rich background in dance and architecture…filled with rhythm, texture, color and line! His favorite song is the one he is singing each moment. His favorite thing is a good giggle.

Paolo Sings for the Holidays

There's no place like home for the holidays...especially Sedona!  I know this sounds like a song BUT... friends ARE gathering near, there will be snow and mistletoe and presents under the tree.  And there is bound to be some yuletide by the fireside, and grateful memories there.  Oh, I forgot to mention one little thing, a ring, I don't mean on the phone, Santa Baby.  So hurry down the chimney...but before you do that, check out Paolo's holiday schedule.  He would love to sing you some good cheer.

By the way, what are you doing New Years Eve?  Paolo recomends Reds at Sedona Rough Resort.  He will be there singing and ringing in the New Year.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Paolo Sing Gershwin

The songs of Ira Gershwin are a perfect fit for Paolo, a jazz vocalist performing regularly in Sedona, AZ.  Gershwin melodies and lyrics are timeless, and relevant for modern vocalists.  Take a  song like "A Foggy Day In London Town" for example to see that the "age of miracles"  may have passed but love lingers for ever.  Or how about "S'Wonerful", with the age old reverence to romance?  Of course "Summertime" rolls around every year and baby's still cry.

You can catch Paolo in Sedona at the Sedona Rouge Lounge in Reds Restaurant every Thursday evening from 6-9 pm bringing back Gershwin along with Cole Porter and so many of the great song writers of the early and mid 20th Century.

Frank Sinatra - A Music Legend

Sedona musician, Paolo embraces the music of Frank Sinatra.  Francis Albert "Frank" Sinatra was one the greatest American singers and film actors of the 20th Century.  He began his musical career in what we call the "Swing Era" with Harry James and Tommy Dorsey, two more legends   By the mid-1940's he became an unprecedentedly successful solo artist after being signed to Columbia Records. His next big achievement was the 1953 Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in "From Here to Eternity".

His career continued to build through the 60's releasing critically lauded albums such as 'In the We Small Hours", "Songs for Swingin' Lovers", Come Fly with Me", Only the Lonely" and "Nice 'n' Easy".  He toured internationally and connected with celebrities and statesmen, including JFK.  He scored hit after hit including "Strangers in the Night" and "My Way".  He continued to  record albums, performing at his Las Vegas Shows as a home base, and touring both within the United States and internationally, until a short time before his death in 1998.

Frank Sinatra continues to  be an inspiration for singers to the present day.  His relaxed style of "living it up, never backing down, and holding on to the swagger through love and loss" is a timeless style and still lives in the mind of his followers.  Frank Sinatra is a true world class legend.
