His specialties are the jazz trumpet styles of the 1920’s and ‘30s, and also has a deep interest in jazz history that started when he began collecting records as a teenager.

Marc Caparone's Back O'Town All Stars
Dedicated to the music of Louis Armstrong's All Stars - the group Louis led beginning in 1947, this group is made up of some of the finest musicians in the classic jazz style working today. The band brings back the excitement and entertainment of Louis' concerts and the music of some of his great albums such as Satch Plays Fats and Louis Armstrong Plays WC Handy.
