Vince Giordano (born March 11, 1952) is an American saxophonist and leader of the New York-based Nighthawks Orchestra.
[5] Lending his musical and acting talents to Francis Ford Coppola's film The Cotton Club led to working with Dick Hyman's Orchestra in half a dozen Woody Allen soundtracks, then acting as bass player, most notably in Sean Penn's band in Allen's Sweet and Lowdown.
His collection includes big band arrangements, silent movie scores, 78-rpm discs, piano rolls, and a Victrola.
[2] Giordano and his band have been guests on Garrison Keillor's variety radio show, A Prairie Home Companion.
Turner Classic Movie Film Festival spotlighted him at Hollywood's Music Box, where the band performed vintage movie music, in addition to accompanying The Cameraman, a Buster Keaton silent film shown at the Egyptian Theater.
