The Vinnie Ruggiero Septet playing "St. Thomas" Vinnie Ruggiero - Drums, Joe Ramano - Tenor, John Vitalie - Tenor, Joe Corzatto - Alto, Bruce Mills - Flute, Barry Kiener - Rhodes, Danny Vitale - Bass, Bobby Blandino, - Congas. Rochester NY 1977.
Thanks so much for sharing the video. I took lessons from Vinnie in 1973 (14). I never did anything with it but have great memories of him as a teacher. Lessons his home for one hour lesson would stretch into two or three; he was always generous with his time and incredibly enthusiastic and always very patient.
Man, truly some Rochester treasures! I remember Joe & Vinnie teaching lessons in our house and playing parties in our back yard when we were kids, oh yeah and Tony Levin too.....YIKES!
Excuse me! But How cool is THIS!
