Charles Ruggiero Presents “Tenor Madness” (feat. Doug Webb and Brandon Fields)

Charles Ruggiero was born to be a drummer. The son of world renowned jazz musician Vinnie Ruggiero, Charles spent his early years surrounded by the "who's who" of Jazz. There was always music around, and with musicians like Art Blakey, Philly Joe Jones, Freddie Hubbard, and Jon Hendricks coming to spend time and play, it was only a matter of time before he caught the bug and asked his father to play the "bang-bangs".

Charles made the list of top 100 Jazz Albums of 2015 with his debut "Boom Bang, Boom Bang!", a tribute to the jazz of the 70's. He followed that up with the release of his sophomore effort, "As Heard On TV" a collection of television themes arranged for jazz trio, quartet, and quintet (which reached #12 on the Jazz Charts). His Third Record, "Charles Ruggiero Meets Laura Mace" released in 2016, met widespread acclaim, and went on to outsell the first two records despite not having a radio campaign.
