The John Bianculli Group
_____________________

It bubbles... It brims... And then...
It explodes with the driving energy of World Beats:
jazz, Afro-cuban, Brazilian, Latin, rhythm & blues,
funk and gospel.
Here is music on the edge of a new century;
The sounds of four continents brewed
and blended together
by a band of masterful musicians led by composer and pianist, John Bianculli,
who was born and raised on the apron of the jazz world, Greenwich Village.
From Birdland, the Blue Note and Smalls in NYC
to New Jersey’s supper clubs and coffeehouses to
African-American churches and outdoor jazz festivals,
John Bianculli’s berth is wide,
creating rhythms and melodies
that reach deep inside the audiences
who embrace his music.
Bianculli is indeed, a master of melody and rhythm.
You can’t help but feel the original passion that drives him
to compose each piece.
The incredible excitement of “Hoofin’ Home”,
“Cueste Lo Que Cueste” and“New Brasilia”
literally brings crowds to their feet,
not to mention, dancing in the aisles!
When you leave, you’ll leave singing.
The next morning, you’ll wake up humming.
And if your not a die-hard fan yet, you will be.

John Bianculli was the DJ at my wedding reception this past summer. He arrived early, brought all his own equipment, and set up everything so that our guests heard music as they entered the room. He played some live music on the keyboard and also did traditional DJ-ing. He played all of the artists and songs we had requested in the preliminary form he asked us to fill out. He was also able to accommodate spur of the moment requests on the day of the wedding. We had a few last minute changes to our itinerary for the day and John handled all of them without a hiccup. Overall, he was professional, cheerful, and a pleasant presence at our wedding reception. I would highly recommend him as a DJ!  -Ariana and Eric
