WHEN YOU'RE THERE

MAXJAZZ is proud to introduce Frank LoCrasto and his debut release “When You're There.”   LoCrasto, a gifted pianist, composer and arranger, wrote all of the songs for this exceptional release.   Several songs feature woodwind and string accompaniment with intricate parts all written and arranged by LoCrasto.

A graduate of Dallas' Booker T. Washington School for the Performing and Visual Arts and New York's New School, LoCrasto is currently a member of the Jeremy Pelt Quartet.   He also plays frequently with guitarist Pat Martino and saxophonist Greg Osby.   LoCrasto has a very bright future.
