About this Event

Two world-class guitarists—one unforgettable night. 

Frank Vignola is widely recognized as one of the most extraordinary guitarists performing today. With jaw-dropping virtuosity and genre-spanning creativity, he has played alongside legends including Ringo Starr, Madonna, Donald Fagen, Tommy Emmanuel, Lionel Hampton, and guitar icon Les Paul, who once named him among his “Five Most Admired Guitarists” in The Wall Street Journal. Vignola’s dazzling career has taken him to Carnegie Hall, the Sydney Opera House, Lincoln Center, The Blue Note, and more than 21 countries worldwide. A prolific recording artist and educator, his influence reaches across generations of musicians and fans alike. Currently, he leads the celebrated weekly “Guitar Night” residency at New York City’s Birdland Jazz Club.

Frank Vignola

Sharing the stage is his longtime collaborator, Vinny Raniolo, a rhythm guitarist in constant demand for his impeccable timing and dynamic accompaniment. Raniolo’s artistry has brought him to venues as iconic as the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco, Lincoln Center in New York, and the Teatro Olimpico in Italy. Beyond the stage, he has been a familiar face on PBS, appearing in Tommy Emmanuel & Friends and Four Generations of Guitar. His recording credits include soundtracks for HBO’s Boardwalk Empire and Woody Allen’s Café Society.

Vinny Raniolo

Together, Vignola and Raniolo create an electrifying duo, weaving jazz standards, timeless classics, and improvisational fireworks into performances that leave audiences spellbound. Their chemistry, virtuosity, and joy in playing are contagious—reminding us why the guitar holds such a powerful place in jazz.
