Vocalist, Joe Mancuso & Guitarist, Dave Black have been performing all over St. Louis for the last couple of years as an Acoustic Jazz Duo. They perform a very unique blend of Jazz Standards, Rock, Pop, Blues & R&B classics re-harmonized and re-imagined in the Jazz idiom. This award winning Duo is very excited about releasing their first record.

Mancuso, who grew up on The Hill, is an in-demand jazz singer. He describes his sound as different from traditional jazz because of his rock 'n' roll roots. His 2014 debut album, Cut to the Chase, features 13 classic jazz standards—all brought alive by his trademark electric energy. Although he studied music at Webster University, he says he's only been on the music scene for about four years. But he's been able to accomplish so much (including a handful of top music awards from the Riverfront Times) because of hard work and a true passion for music.
