This free, outdoor concert series will bring an eclectic array of musical talent to our stage in the courtyard on Thursdays from 7-9 PM.

Bob Zottola, a trumpet, flugelhorn player and singer whose versatility across many musical genres has found him at Lincoln Center with the American Ballet Orchestra, at the World’s Fair with Benny Goodman and on a four month World Tour with Chick Corea.
His experience accompanying stars such as Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Nat ‘King’ Cole , Rosemary Clooney, Stevie Wonder, Mel Torme and Peggy Lee along with a long list of Broadway (NYC) performances such as West Side Story, Chicago, 42nd Street, The Royal Shakespeare Company’s Broadway production of Nicholas Nickleby and a 16 year run with Les Miserables polished his multi-faceted musical abilities to what they are today.

Bob also performed with Quincy Jones, Gerry Mulligan, Dizzy Gillespie, Michael Jackson, Tom Jones, Marvin Hamlisch, Diana Ross, Glenn Miller USAF Band, Gladys Knight, Johnny Mathis, Woody Herman, Maynard Ferguson, Charlie Barnet, Cab Calloway, Ray Charles, Duke Ellington, and perhaps another fifty stellar performers of our times.
Having relocated from the ‘Big Apple’ (New York City) to Naples, Florida, Bob has begun a second career in pursuing his musical interests in Florida.

His Expandable Jazz Band and Jazz Simpatico have brought new enthusiasm to the Southwest Florida jazz scene. Focussing on Mainstream Jazz and the Celebration of the Great American Song Book, he continues to attract fans known as the Naples Jazz Lovers.
