Frank DiBussolo, one of Allentown’s Miller Symphony Hall favorite “Jazz Upstairs” performers, is doing his first virtual show there, 7:30 p.m. April 23, with 48-hour rental on-demand beginning April 24.

DiBussolo plays guitar with organist Gary Staples and Lorenzo Branca on drums. He has been at the venue many times with groups under his own name, as well as appearing in other concerts there.

In a phone conversation from his home in Allentown, DiBussolo says, “We are recreating the sound of the great organ trios of the sixties and seventies, like those of [guitarists] Wes Montgomery and George Benson.”

DiBussolo had performed in the Philadelphia area with Richard “Groove” Holmes, one of jazz’s best-known organists.

“It will be a diverse selection of music, all original, except for a gospel-Latin arrangement of ‘America the Beautiful’ at the end.”

He previously appeared with the organ trio at Foy Hall, Moravian College, and Black and Blue restaurant, Easton.

DiBussolo is known for his interpretations of standards. He does not go in for flash, emphasizing melody backed by an underlying technical mastery. He has numerous performance videos on YouTube.

His credits include performing with Bob Hope, George Burns and Bobby Vinton at the State Theatre Center for the Arts, Easton, and Tony Bennett, Vicki Carr, Diana Ross and Dom DeLuise in Atlantic City.

He performed many times with Frank Sinatra and in the bands of Dizzy Gillespie, Buddy Rich and Art Blakey.

DiBussolo, a Philadelphia native, traveled to the Lehigh Valley for many years before moving here in the 1990s. He taught at Moravian College and Lehigh University.

He teaches the history of guitar and music theory in The Fab Lab Luthier (guitar-making) Program at Northampton Community College.

He usually takes one guitar to gigs and avoids electronic effects that would interfere with his smooth playing. He plays a custom instrument made by Frank Finocchio of Easton.

DiBussolo is vice president of TLC Arts Charter Schools, which founded the Lehigh Valley Charter High School for the Performing Arts. He was head of the Guitar and Jazz Studies Program there.

DiBussolo has done a number of concerts, teaming up with a second guitarist. There have been series at the Macungie Guitar Institute, Godfrey Daniels and “Evening with the Masters” at The Fab Lab. These included his friend, John “Bucky” Pizzarelli, who died in 2020 at age 94.

“I first heard Bucky on a song by Carmen McRae. I later told him about playing on it, and he said, ‘Did I?’ He had done so many sessions he couldn’t remember them all. People have told me about a song they think is great and I’ve said, ‘I know. I was on it.’ ”

As with most musicians, DiBussolo’s career has been impacted by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

“I missed a number of major concerts. The one at Symphony Hall was supposed to take place last year.”
