Does the name "Tony DiCaprio" mean anything to anyone here?

Hi Jim

He's a band leader, Italian I think.

Not sure of any connection

That's the guy, though Italian-American rather than Italian.

But as he says in a Usenet thread on rec.music.makers.guitar.jazz, have a guess where, and with whom, he was working in 1971?

With Tom Jones in Las Vegas- possibly as part of the main venue orchestra , but not in Tom's own personal rhythm section with Big Jim Sullivan, and possibly John Rostill?

That's it - almost - in one.

Playing, though, as part of Tom Jones's band, along with John Rostill.
