Anthony Bruno with support from Brendan Whalen
Cefalù is a sonic story about places known and fantasized, reflecting on the sights and sounds both real and imagined. A thoughtful mix of Indie Rock, R&B, and Jazz, Bruno's latest record features some of Chicago's finest talent including rock stars of the up and coming jazz world: stellar drummer James Russell Sims, guitar phenom Cole Runge, keyboard wizard Andrew Lawrence, and prodigious bassist Vinny Kabat. Cefalù is an exploration of instrumental improvised pop music.
Anthony Bruno has dedicated his life to music as a performer, educator, and creator. Born into a musical family, playing music has been a hallmark of his existence. He believes creativity and connection is the essence of music performance. Anthony brings pop sensibilities to the concept of improvised music in both his composition and performance. Rooted in jazz but drawn to R&B, Anthony writes and plays unapologetically from the soul.
