TOMORROW, The Sun Will Come Out
Half Hollow Hills – Alumni All-Star Jazz Band
The early to mid-70’s was a magical time for the Half Hollow Hills music department, especially the jazz band. An unusually high number of students from that band studied music in college, and either chose music as their vocation or their avocation as a result of the talent, the teachers, and the opportunities provided. Rich Iacona was the jazz director and music theory teacher. Without his efforts, talent and leadership, the HHH Jazz Band would not have been the recognized organization it was, and we cannot imagine how many music careers would have taken a different path.
On Sunday evening, July 7, many of these musicians will re-unite for the first time in about 40 years. Led by Long Island’s own Rich Iacona, they are getting the band back together, including the following confirmed musicians: Rich DeRosa (Denton, Texas), Andy Giammalvo (Long Island), Dave Milnes (Berkeley, CA), Ed Chiarello (Long Island), John Grosso (Long Island), Tom Uzzo (Long Island), John Bastianelli (Baton Rouge, LA), Diane DeRosa (Los Angeles, CA), Ian Cain (Houston, TX), Gary Haase, (NY, NY), Mike Lewis (Long Island), Mike Ward (Chappaqua, NY), Gary Beard (Long Island), Pete Zifchak (Los Angeles, CA), Mark Eisemann (Long Island), Bennett Fisher (Houston, TX), Marty Pedowicz (Houston, TX), Tom Tresselt (Long Island).
If you are a fan of big band jazz, come see some of Long Island’s finest and the product of a great period in HHH jazz.
