Toronto-based pianist, composer and bandleader Anthony D’Alessandro has led bands on many notable venues and festival stages across Canada and regularly performs alongside a who’s who of Canada’s great jazz musicians including Neil Swainson, Reg Schwager, Caity Gyorgy, Kevin Turcotte, and Ernesto Cervini. He’s also worked with NYC based musicians such as Benny Benack III, Alexander Claffy and Joe Farnsworth.

“Anthony has a natural feeling for swing and groove, scintillating technique and a penchant for such feel-good pianists as Erroll Garner, Oscar Peterson, and Monty Alexander.”- Steve Wallace for WholeNote Magazine
