The Ranny Reeve Trio
Teacher, composer and jazz pianist Ranny Reeve has performed in hundreds of concerts on Long Island and in New York City. Besides teaching jazz improvisation and classical studies on Long Island’s East End, Mr. Reeve has had a successful private studio for more than fifty years.
Kings Park native Bob Scarpulla (Trumpet/Flugelhorn) has been performing and recording in New York for over 20 years in a wide variety of musical styles and settings, both as a soloist and section player. His professional experience with many different genres of music including jazz, R&B, funk, salsa, reggae and Haitian kompa lends to his versatility. He has performed with the Goo Goo Dolls on an MTV production entitled "No Alternative", and has toured with both the Brand New Heavies and Mary Wilson and the Supremes.
Paul E. Mitchell, upright bassist, has played in venues from CBGBs to Lincoln Center, Broadway show tours, clubs, restaurants and living rooms. He studied classical bass technique with the great Julius Levine, and learned jazz watching and attending clinics by numerous bass luminaries in New York City.
These musicians come together from different generational backgrounds, to create fresh and exciting improvisations and new renditions of popular jazz and blues standards.
