Hailing from outside of New York City, trumpeter and crooner Johnny Panzarella leads the popular swing band, Johnny P. and the Wiseguys. Johnny and the gang provide a swingin' musical styling and stage presence, echoing the greats such as Louis Prima, Frank Sinatra, and Harry Connick Jr.
The capability of wailing on a trumpet solo, crooning a romantic ballad, and scat-singing on an up-tempo tune makes Johnny P. a real "Jazz Triple-Threat". Hailing from Los Angeles and Las Vegas, drummer extraordinaire, Jay Bird Mitthauer, has played with an abundance of great musicians over the years, including Chase, Bobby Darin, and The 4 Tops.
A staple of the New Orleans jazz scene, bass player Tim Paco brings a wealth of musical experience, showmanship, and swing know-how to the Wiseguys.
Robert Karns, member of the Lackland Airforce Band of the West, provides great swinging saxophone sounds that echo the stylings of Red Prysock, Sam Butera, and Sonny Rollins.
Aaron Prado, musical director of jazz radio station 91.7 KRTU, brings his encyclopedia of jazz experience and knowlege to help create the swingin' piano stylings of the Wiseguys.
Reminiscent of 1960's rat-pack type coolness, Johnny P. and the Wiseguys provides a must see showcase that will have you dancing, snappin', and swingin'.
