RCA Presents: Anthony D’Alessandro Quartet

Anthony D’Alessandro is a Toronto-based pianist, composer, and bandleader known for his natural swing and groove. Praised by WholeNote Magazine for his “scintillating technique,” he has performed at top venues worldwide, including the Montreal International Jazz Festival, Smalls Jazz Club and Birdland in NYC, and Koerner Hall in Toronto.

He has collaborated with Canada’s jazz elite, including Caity Gyorgy, Neil Swainson, Terry Clarke, and Ernesto Cervini, as well as NYC musicians like Benny Benack III and Joe Farnsworth.

D’Alessandro’s debut album Searchin’ (2024) features Benack, Swainson, Cervini, and Gyorgy. Searchin’ was called a “gem of an album” (Jersey Jazz Magazine) and an “uplifting and feel-good jazz record” (Paris Move). His composition Tune for Monty was selected for CBC Music’s Songs You Need to Hear.

With a fresh yet rooted approach, D’Alessandro is a rising force in jazz. This performance will feature:

Anthony D’Alessandro - piano
Benny Benack III - vocals & trumpet
Zachary Griffin - saxophone
Jonathan Chapman - bass
Ernesto Cervini - drums
