Known for his work alongside jazz great Bucky Pizzarelli, Laub offers interpretations of the Great American Songbook and Brazilian classics, carrying the torch of the jazz guitar tradition Les Paul helped to define. Joining him will be Jerry Vezza on piano, Hal Slapin on bass, and John Vourtsis on the drums.
