Vinny was selected by Frank Vignola to be part of a team to perform for a run of guitar nights at New York’s Cutting Room. Vinny recalls Frank calling ‘all of the Italian guitar players that he could get,’ he said with a wink at the club. Vinny and Frank Vignola have had a longtime musical partnership. The two of them together are a force of nature: superior, simpatico, entertaining players with a wide-ranging repertoire and off-the-charts facility” said JazzTimes. “Vignola and Raniolo’s dual acoustic guitars blend like espresso and gelato. From the first notes of “It Might As Well Be Spring,” the players leap with acrobatic precision from strummed triplets to descending diminished scale runs. On mellower takes Vignola and Raniolo recall the frisky interplay of Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli.” – The Christian Century
