“FRANK CATALANO IS JOHN COLTRANE ENERGY FOR THE 21ST CENTURY!!!”
-DOWNBEAT MAGAZINE
Legendary saxman Frank Catalano consistently headlines world-class festivals and sells-out venues throughout the USA, Europe, and Japan. Thanks to his signature sound and renowned reputation, Catalano averages 150 concerts a year with his jazz quartet. His Album, “Tokyo 9” was recently #1 on the Jazz Billboard Charts.
As a coveted guest artist, Frank often lends his sax stylings to high-profile rock groups. Recent highlights include playing a 7-minute improvised sax solo at The Hollywood Bowl with The Smashing Pumpkins, closing out the Chicago Blues Festival with Los Lobos, and performing with Les Claypool, Sean Lennon, and the Violent Femmes. He also teamed up on a unique version of the Jane’s Addiction hit “Jane Says” with Perry Farrell, Billy Corgan, and Jimmy Chamberlin, Frank’s longtime friend and collaborator.
Early in his career, Catalano was fortunate to have been able to perform with Miles Davis, Louie Bellson, Von Freeman, Elvin Jones, Betty Carter and Tony Bennett. It was Tony Bennett who started off Catalano’s career in a big way as Catalano was only 17 when he recorded on the Grammy-Winning Album “Here’s To The Ladies” considered one of Bennett’s finest. Frank is also the Brand Ambassador for New Amsterdam Gin and he enjoys Classic Cocktails. www.catalanomusic.com
