The John Basile Quartet

Born in the Boston area, guitarist John Basile graduated from the New England Conservatory of Music, where, after receiving a jazz fellowship from the National Endowment For The Arts, he relocated to New York City in 1979. Early free-lance work included tours with Peggy Lee, Tony Bennett, and Michel Legrand, as New York offered the experiences essential to any jazz artist - the opportunity to develop a personal voice.
