Sat, Feb 07

Anthony Caceres, a native of San Antonio has warm and friendly voice, a swinging style, and the desire to create fresh renditions of superior material, whether it is standards of the past, his originals, or performing current pop tunes into jazz. He is also one of the few artists around today who is very comfortable singing and playing the string bass at the same time. In addition he is also a multi-instrumentalist who also plays piano and guitar. Anthony received his Jazz Studies degree from the University Of North Texas in Jazz Bass in 2003, since then he has recorded and toured with the Glenn Miller Orchestra and has recorded with jazz luminaries Drummers Jeff Hamilton,Joe Fransworth and Sebastian Whittaker, Pianists Stefan Karlsson and Tamir Hendelman and Pamela York. He is the first bassist in the family, one can trace Anthony’s musical genes to his grandfather jazz violinist Emilio Caceres who played swing and Latin music and appeared on Benny Goodmans radio show and his great-uncle Ernie Caceres also who appeared with trombonist Jack Teagarden and the original Glenn Miller Orchestra. As a leader Anthony has recorded his own albums such as Don’t Call It Love (2011), Crooner (2016), Something’s Gotta Give (2019) and now Let’s Take A Trip (2026).
