VINCE GIORDANO AND THE NIGHTHAWKS!
ADMISSION: FREE
(Visit www.scranton.edu/schemelforum for info on Mr. Giordano’s luncheon lecture.)
For over 50 years, Grammy-winner, New York native and multi-instrumentalist Vince Giordano has almost single-handedly kept alive a wonderful genre of American music that continues to spread the joy and pathos of an era that shaped our nation. Giordano’s passion, commitment to authenticity, and knowledge led him to create a sensational band of like-minded players, the Nighthawks. He and his band have performed in top New York nightclubs and concert halls including Birdland, The Town Hall, Jazz At Lincoln Center, Newport Jazz Festival, 92nd St Y, and many others for the past five decades. His extensive filmography includes Killers of the Flower Moon, Boardwalk Empire, The Cotton Club, Café Society, The Joker, The Irishman, and many, many more. A Hudson West Productions feature documentary, Vince Giordano - There’s a Future in the Past, opened in theaters in 2017. Giordano’s passion for music from the 1920’s & 30’s and the people that made it led him to amass an amazing collection of over 64,000 band arrangements and sheet music, 1920’s and 30’s films, 78rpm recordings, and jazz-age memorabilia. In addition to their extensive recording discography, several tunes recorded by Vince and the Nighthawks are used in video games: BioShock, Fallout 3, and Fallout 4.
