Anthony Stanco is a jazz trumpet virtuoso and composer from Southeast Michigan, deeply rooted in the Detroit tradition, having studied under luminaries like Marcus Belgrave and Rodney Whitaker. He is recognized for his technique and love for hard bop, also serving as an educator and cultural ambassador through the US State Department's "American Music Abroad" program.His latest album is In the Groove: Live at The Alluvion, released on October 17, 2025, on OA2 Records. This project is a continuation of his 2024 album, Stanco's Time. In the Groove was captured live at The Alluvion, a gorgeous and intimate jazz club in downtown Traverse City, Michigan that has in a short time gathered around itself a dedicated and passionate community of listeners. Stanco is joined by an all-star band, including guitarist Randy Napoleon, pianist Xavier Davis, bassist John Webber, and drummer Joe Farnsworth, to deliver a bold and joyful voice in 21st-century bop, blending tradition with modern fire.
