MUSIC NOTES
by jim on March 10, 2007
Comedian/singer/musician Joe Piscopo seems to have found a home here in Las Vegas.
Piscopo, the somewhat throwback entertainer to the Rat Pack era of Vegas, has come up with a new gig for his act at the Las Vegas Hilton.
It's no secret that Joe has been a long time admirer of frank sinatra, and he has skillfully impersonated him over the years as a tribute to his hero.
But now Piscopo has launched an entirely new concept where the comedy aspect of his talents, while still present, is greatly downplayed in order to place emphasis on his musical skills.
Here's a great report on Joe's current show by Robin Leach.
New Jersey seems to produce multi-talented guys like Sinatra, who in my opinion was also an outstanding actor, and Piscopo who excels at so many things.
Let's not forget that I'm from New Jersey too, and besides writing, I also know how to walk, sleep, eat, drive a car, wash a floor, cook, etc.

You're right. Joe Piscopo is multi-talented and the show at the Hilton is a perfect way for him to share those talents. The band...the best! These are guys who played with Sinatra. I would go back just to hear them. But Piscopo's warmth and talent is offered in a blend of music, stories, film clips (some great "SNL" moments and home movies), and that Vegas "schmooze" with the audience. Loved the show and plan to return on another Vegas visit.
