welcome

Ken Cicerale is an individual voice. A true singer of songs, Ken employs the strong, dark sound of his alto saxophone as his vocal instrument. Whether interpreting a melody, improvising a solo or playing behind a vocalist, his natural lyricism, soul and wit touch the listener's heart with a poignant elegance.

Ken has performed for many years as both leader and sideman with various jazz and pop ensembles in the greater New York area. He has also toured with self-contained acts such as “American Dream Machine” and “Joyride,” performed intermittently with the Sherry Winston Band and the Alan Quinn Big Band as well as nationally noted acts including the Shirelles, Lou Christie, Bobby Rydell and Frankie Avalon. Ken has also composed and performed incidental music to the highly acclaimed Off-Broadway set of short plays entitled “Close Enough for Jazz.” In 1999 he and guitarist Monroe Quinn released a duo album entitled “Musings” that included several of his original works. His most recent recording, a solo LP entitled “Soliloquies” is the quintessential example of his unique approach to making beautiful, intimate music.
