The Steve Bredice Quartet also features Charlie MacFadyen on keys, Bobby Leopold on upright bass, and Nick Aloi on drums. Charlie, a fixture on the Vermont jazz scene, is an accomplished pianist and instructor whose deep musical intelligence makes for a compelling listening experience. Bobby is a master of the upright bass whose tone, technique, phrasing and musical ideas have given him a well-deserved reputation as a creative expressionist on band stands around the state. Known for his authoritative pocket presence and tasty soloing, Nick is one of Vermont’s most respected jazz drummers and is a highly sought-after contributor in numerous working jazz combos. Steve, a founding member of Jazzmosis, Boplicity, and the Bredice Mayette Romeo Trio is currently working with Joe’s Big Band, along with Charlie. Charlie, Nick, Bobby and Steve share an abiding passion for playing jazz standards and interesting selections from the Great American Songbook.
