The Frank Vignola Band, "Vignola Collective" has shattered the barriers between popular music and traditional jazz to create an exciting new sound in acoustic string music. Their repertoire, together with Vignola’s amazing virtuosity, puts them in a league by themselves, creating a new genre of music, melding contemporary gypsy jazz, bluegrass, toe-tapping swing, blues and acoustic rock.
