The Laughing Squid of Los Angeles
While in Los Angeles last week we stopped by Vibrato Grill Jazz, a beautiful restaurant and jazz club in Bel Air owned by renown musician Herb Alpert. Our friend Tony Campanale is the manager there and during our visit he introduced us to Pat Senatore, a charming man, who along with being the music director of the club, was the bass player for Herb Alpert and The Tijuana Brass.
The band performing the night we were there was the Rick Vittallo Quartet and at one point Tony Pia from the Stray Cats sat in on the drums.

Engelbert Humperdinck: Live at the Royal Albert Hall with the London Symphony Orchestra. There is a medley of songs Nat King Cole made famous, with a marvelous "Mona Lisa" to a solo guitar accompaniment (by Rick Vittallo), as well as many of Engelbert's early hits. Two songs that are standouts are Lionel Richie's "Hello", and my favorite, a superb rendition of Edith Piaf's "If You Love me (Really Love Me) which is the encore.
The Frasier Band
One of Rick's greatest achevements was being on the "Frasier Show" Band for 10 years. The Frasier Band is still playing around the LA area and still can be booked anywhere in the US or overseas.
