In 30 years as a bandleader, Vince Giordano has become the authority on recreating the sounds of 1920s and '30s jazz and popular music. "I just love the energy of the early jazz," says Giordano. "I wanted to recapture some of that." Early appearances with Leon Redbone and on the Prairie Home Companion and lending his talents to Francis Ford Coppola’s film The Cotton Club, led to working with Dick Hyman’s Orchestra in half a dozen Woody Allen soundtracks then as a bass player in Sean Penn’s band in Woody’s Sweet and Lowdown. He and band were featured in Gus Van Sant’s film Finding Forrester, in Martin Scorsese’s The Aviator, Robert DeNiro’s film, The Good Shepherd, Tamara Jenkin's The Savages and recently Vince has been working with Sam Mendes’ upcoming films: Revolutionary Road due in December, Farlanders due in 2009; and Michael Mann’s film Public Enemies. Also a big-band historian and collector, Giordano has more than 33,000 scores in his collection. In addition to playing the string bass, Giordano is a multi-instrumentalist on tuba, bass saxophone, banjo, rhythm guitar, piano and drums. Vince Giordano and the Nighthawks are renowned on the New York scene for their commitment to preserving and authentically presenting 1920s jazz and popular music.
