Joseph Hasty
CENTERPIECE JAZZ

I've had the pleasure of performing with the help of some wonderful musicians  forming the Jazz group: "CENTERPIECE".   With a very dance-able beat playing Swing tunes, Show tunes and other Jazz standards, CENTERPIECE is sure to please the most sophisticated listener and will inspire and encourage dancers that know all of the classic moves!






Playing a variety of venues and occasions CENTERPIECE JAZZ will modify the band line up to form a duo, trio, quartet or quintet to accommodate any event. Joseph usually plays rhythm guitar and sings lead vocals but  will sometimes fill in on up-right bass. Often joining him is: Dick Hull - a seasoned veteran on guitar; On Up-right bass (when Joseph himself is not handling that duty) is either Brandon Miller, Ben McPherron or Jim Clark - all three are excellent players; Robert George and, on occasion, Patrick Brown - both credentialed saxophonists with smooth, impeccable style; Dave Reep - Jazz Trumpter extraordinaire; Bob Kogut - jazz fiddler and renowned violin maker; Also, Mike Barlowe - an accomplished drummer and percussionist who helps round out the classic sound that typifies "CENTERPIECE JAZZ".
