Jazz Tones Trio scheduled to perform Sep 13

Frank Saccoccio began playing guitar at age 11 and has spent decades mastering classical, jazz, and rock styles. He’s performed across Rhode Island and Massachusetts in ensembles ranging from swing bands to solo sets, and also enjoys piano and ukulele. Based in Franklin, MA, Frank is the guitarist for The Jazz Tones Trio, bringing elegant, expressive sounds to intimate venues throughout southern New England.

Emily Gove has been performing for over 16 years on piano and 10 years on accordion, with a versatile background in jazz combos, choral groups, musical theatre, and classical solo work. Her musical journey has taken her across New England and abroad to Italy, England, and the Pacific Islands. Today, she plays with small jazz ensembles in Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts, adding rich texture to The Jazz Tones Trio with both keyboard and accordion.

After a 32-year hiatus, George Piggott returned to the bass at age 52, studying classical and jazz under Robert Petteruti—whose legacy includes performances with Duke Ellington and other jazz legends. Over the past 16 years, George has played with the Warwick Symphony, Ocean State Pops, RI Philharmonic Community Orchestra, and Great Woods Symphony. He now anchors The Jazz Tones Trio, blending bass with piano, guitar, and accordion to deliver soulful renditions from the American Songbook and light rock classics.
