The Rudy Salvini Octet
The Music of Duke Ellington, Billy Strayhorn and others..
Art Dougherty, alto sax; Tom Hart, tenor sax; Ted Thiele, baritone sax; Van Hughs, trombone; Rudy Salvini, trumpet; John Price, piano; Dean Reilly, bass; Eric Thomson, drums
In the aggregate, the members of The Rudy Salvini Octet bring, literally, several centuries worth of musical experience to Old First. Collectively, they are a virtual embodiment of that fabled period in Bay Area music known as the big band jazz era. Just a partial list of musical greats they have played with or accompanied reads like two blocks on Hollywood's Walk of Fame: Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Marvin Gaye, Duke Ellington, Tony Bennett, Sammy Davis Jr., Isaac Hayes, Peggy Lee, Mel Tormé, Billy Eckstein, Nancy Wilson, Natalie Cole, Lena Horne, Dionne Warwick, Henry Mancini and more. The RSO is truly a musical treasure.
