I BRING THE SWING

About Me

Hey everyone,
My name is Pete Coco and I'm a bass player in the New York area.
Over the past few years I've had the pleasure of sharing the stage with many talented musicians, including Matt Wilson, Antonio Hart, Frank Vignola, Dave Lalama, Jon Faddis, Pete Malinverni, Ray Vega, Fuku Tainaka, Charles Blenzig, Mimi Fox, Dennis Mackrel, Joshco Stephan, Muriel Anderson, Matt Flinner, Casey Driessen, and Aaron Weinstein, among others.
Currently, I'm touring with the Frank Vignola Quintet . Our new cd, "Kong Man," is available now at VMDownloads.com. In addition to playing with the FVQ, I freelance around Manhattan and Long Island and am involved with many projects, including swing, rock, classical, bluegrass, and rockabilly recordings and gigs.
Besides this, I own and operate The Music Academy of Garden City with my brother, guitarist/educator/inventor John Coco.
