ned fasullo No one singer has embodied the feeling, persona, energy,
and stage presence of the great crooners like vocalist Ned Fasullo. His
interpretation and delivery of classic American standards are second
to none and constantly keep audiences begging for more.
Audiences from coast to coast constantly compare Ned's look
and style and phrasing to the Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Bobby
Darin of the 50's and 60's at their career highs and swingin' best.
Whether Ned is performing in a small intimate setting with a few jazz
musicians or going all out with his 18 piece big band orchestra, you
can bet on a swingin' good time.
It is because of his style and natural stage ability that he was
chosen in 2003 to be the touring vocalist for the "Salute To Sinatra"
show from Florida Pops Entertainment, backed by the Nelson Riddle
Orchestra, now directed by Nelson's son Christopher Riddle. Since
2003 Ned has performed to sold out shows all over the country per-
forming some of Sinatra's and Riddle's biggest and best arrangements.
In 2006, Ned signed on with the “Variety Show for America”
group which tours the southeast United States recreating a true variety
of entertainment for everything from magicians, comedians and Chi-
nese acrobats to fronting the house big band for stirring renditions of
the hits of Dean Martin and Bobby Darin. More recently he and the
Fabulous Big Band Orchestra have performed for Governor Bobby Jin-
dal’s Inaugural Ball, Hollydays Preview Gala 2005 and 2009 and count-
less other Louisiana galas and fundraisers. In his hometown, he is re-
sponsible for performing for the city’s lighting of the tree each holiday
season, and donates many hours of performance to charity events.
Ned’s collection of authentic music charts encompass every-
thing from Sammy Davis, Jr., Bobby Darin, Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra
and Dean Martin. It’s the authenticity of the performance and the
sound of the music that makes his shows so much fun for the audi-
ence.
Ned also regularly produces and performs shows with his own
band the Fabulous Big Band Orchestra as well as performing in smaller
venues with smaller jazz bands. Whether in clubs performing for the
public or donating his time and services to local non-profits to raise
money through music, Ned is always building a bigger, better show for
the fans!
Ned's style of singing, call it swing or call it crooning, is the con-
tinuation of the "art" now carried on by other notables such as Harry
Connick, Jr., Tony Bennett, Michael Buble' and others. Popular singing
of great American standards is one form of entertainment that never
loses an audience, and is always in style and Ned is sure to continue
to make his mark on audiences around the country for years to come!

A few testimonials...
“The Baton Rouge Assembly was pleased to welcome Ned Fasullo and His Fabulous Big Band Orchestra for our
46th annual Presentation of the Debutants. Ned selected and rehearsed special promenade songs for each of
our twenty debutants. The result was a presentation we had only dreamed of before. Ned’s authentic treat-
ment of Darin, Sinatra, Martin and so many others swept us into a lost world of smoky bistros and POSH nightclubs
while Baton Rouge Diva, Mary Beth Broussard’s mellow, sultry tunes captivated our senses. Young and old alike
swung, jitter-bugged and swayed that wooden dance floor down to the carpet. Wow, what a show! We
highly recommend Ned Fasullo and are looking forward to next year!”
James F. Broussard, Chairman, The Baton Rouge Assembly
"Ned Fasullo and the Fabulous Little Big Band added a whole new dimension to our Wine Opener at The Country
Club of Louisiana! Guests actually created a dance floor and danced all night!!! It was fun to see couples walk-
ing through the different rooms singing along with Ned. Our event was a tremendous success and all enjoyed
the entertainment, in fact, guests stayed later this year so as not to miss a beat!"
Erin Achberger, Director of Development, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation
We are so grateful that you were a part of our first "Friends of CHS Gala". Your talent was just the touch that we
needed to bring this event to a first class level. The band was outstanding and your selections were perfect. It
was obvious that all of our guests were having a great time. We look forward to working with you again soon.
Joni Owens, Associate Director of Development, Catholic High School
“Ned and his big band were a huge hit at the reception prior to the performance of Van Cliburn. His music set
the tone for a memorable Valentine evening. Ned is a class act and I look forward to working with him again.”
Johnny Tate, Chair-Elect, Baton Rouge Symphony
"Ned Fasullo and his orchestra create a complete entertainment package. They are professional, prompt, or-
ganized and the entertainment quality is second to none. I recently had the opportunity to work with Ned
Fasullo and people literally danced in the rain to his performance. They would not leave because the music was
so fantastic. I think that says it all."
Tracey McKee, TMA Consulting
“Your band was a HUGE hit. My friends and my parents friends
were all dancing; I was so excited to have songs that everyone
could enjoy. The jazz band was a great addition to dinner, and
the big band was truly amazing. With all the talent in your group,
you fooled some into thinking we'd hired two different bands for
the night. Also, you and your band were so easy to work with
which was a big help during the planning. Thank you so much
for your amazing performance and all your help coordinating the
music. People are still telling me how wonderful you guys
sounded, and I have to agree with them. You were great!”

sounds of Christmas, the Rat Pack and more. The Capital City danced the night
away to the music of this outstanding band. “

On behalf of the San Gennaro Foundation, I would like to thank you for your
contribution to the 2004 Feast of San Gennaro, Los Angeles, specifically the
Prima Notte tribute to Bobby Darin. We would not have been able to have such a terrific performance of
“Beyond the Sea” without your help and assistance in tracking down the original charts that made Bobby and
that song infamous. We are very grateful for the time and effort you put forth to make the tribute authentic and
complete. As a musical director, I am extremely pleased to know that this music still echoes in the hearts of many
generations. Once again, we look forward to more opportunities in the future to share and discover more of this
great music and share it with the community..
With Warmest Regards, Victoria Dolceamore, Vice President, Entertainment, The San Gennaro Foundation

World Class Entertainment presented during variety show at Quincy
Music Theatre
By Byron Spires, Herald Editor
World class entertainment came to town last weekend. Gordon McCleary‟s Variety Show for America swept the stage of the Quincy Mu-sic Theatre with big band music, singers, dancers, acrobatics, magicians and comedians. A semblance of television‟s hey day of entertainment, reminiscent of the Ed Sullivan Show, less Topo Gigio, the production had all the ear-marks of classic variety.
Emceed by Rich Natole, an “A” class entertainer in his own right, the production flowed along a river of pure pleasure. Natole‟s vocal and singing impressions kept the audience rolling in a cloud of laughter. His rendition of “the National Anthem” as sung by former presidents since Kennedy was classic.
If you like the cool sounds of Bobby Darin and Frank Sinatra, then you would have enjoyed the two male singers. Ned Fasullo and Bobby Kemp owned the stage when they performed their melodies of songs from the past. Both crooners brought back a lot of memories of days gone by when men sang heart songs and women swayed under their trance. Fasullo sang many of the old standards now racked away in album covers. He sang the audience down a memory lane of torch songs. His rendition of “Mack the Knife” was pure Bobby D. from the start. Kemp‟s high energy performance and hy-peractive stage presence captivated the audience in a whirlwind of Sinatra songs tagged with a little Tony Bennett for extra measure. His “New York, New York” rendition rocked the house.
In front of, behind, and around the entire show was Coates and Company, a 16 piece big band orchestra from Tallahassee. Their performance rivaled anything New York or Las Vegas clubs could produce. Glenn Miller tunes were well represented by Coates & Company during their sets of pure musical joy.
Magician Erick Olson stammered the crowd with his mixture of magic and comedy. Olson‟s hysterical escape from a straight jacket wooed the audience into a clatter of clapping and laughter.
The Liang Acrobatic and Comedy Show gave the QMT audience a glance into plate spinning. Few acrobats can manipu-late eight plates and move as gracefully as Liang can. The stage became a platform of perfection as Caroline Picart and Darian Chancellor of Tallahassee glided across the floor in modern dance. The pair gracefully performed as one, enchant-ing the audience with their every move.
When the lights dimmed and the sweet music of the grand piano filled the air, the beautiful voice of Avis Berry swept across the audience like a breath of fresh air. Accompanied by William Peterson, Berry took her listeners on a journey of song. From gospel to torch she mesmerized the crowd.
Way before the audience was through the show ended, leaving a gnawing expectation of possibly another performance. McLeary said the future looked bright for his flock of troubadours,. Around the corner may be another show. Like all variety shows it will be a little different. Maybe early next year the QMT stage will light up again with the sounds of laughter and song, McLeary said. But, it might pay, once a few strings are pulled. McLeary added, to watch the media for a possible show even sooner.

Singer makes connection with classic songs that have heart: By JOHN WIRT - [email protected] - Entertainment writer
Ned Fasullo's business card gets to the point: "Big Band Entertainment -- Swinging the Standards." Fasullo is something contemporary, often tuneless singers are not -- a crooner. Whether singing with piano accompaniment in a local Italian restaurant or swinging out with a 16-piece big band, Fasullo croons classic pop songs identified with such mid-20th century singing stars as Dean Martin, Tony Bennett, Bobby Darin and, most of all, Frank Sinatra. Besides being a crooner, Fasullo has something else in common with the singers men-tioned above -- he's Italian. The music of Sinatra and his peers, Fasullo said, "it's something that I've always listened to in an Italian family. So I just kind of got hooked on it over the years."
The American pop standards that comprised Sinatra and others' repertoire, Fasullo added, are just about the only music he listens to. He listens for enjoy-ment as well as to study the many interpretations of the songs he performs. Fasullo has another good reason for preferring standards over modern pop, hip-hop and country -- the human touch.
"What's here today is good for today, but this is music that was written note by note, by arrangers. Quincy Jones arranged a lot of the tunes that we do in the orchestra. He was Frank Sinatra's arranger for six years. Back then, if you needed to change a horn part in a song, you had to rewrite the whole part. It was all in pen and ink. Now we have computers. Nowa-days people would rather push a button and have the computer make all the music, and use just a couple of musicians.
"And a lot of singers nowadays don't sing. They're filling in notes around a piece of synthesized music. Some of these pop singers are really good, but you can tell that there wouldn't be much to others without the production and the effects."
Even if the music Fasullo performs gets little radio play, he's not alone in his appreciation of standards like "Fly Me to the Moon," "It Had to Be You," "Mack the Knife" and "Cheek to Cheek." Rocker Rod Stewart's recent standards album is a hit. Barry Manilow, Neil Diamond, Barbra Streisand and Boz Scaggs recorded albums of standards in recent years, too.
"It's never gonna go out of style," Fasullo said, "because it's classy music that can fit almost any occasion." Popular de-mand, Fasullo said, inspired him to make a commitment to singing, at least to the extent that his day job with a computer software company allows.
"When we started it was kind of a hobby," he said. "But everywhere that people saw us they begged to know where we were gonna be next. They asked if we had CDs. Nobody was really doing this." Fasullo got serious about singing in late 1999. He sang with a big band for the first time in July 2000, performing at the Centroplex with veteran local band-leader Buddy Boudreaux. "It was fabulous," Fasullo recalled.
Fasullo found singing work at Italian restaurants such as Maggio's, Cippriani's, DeAngelo's Pizzeria Company and Gino's Restaurant and Jazz Club. He currently performs Thursdays at Vincent's Italian Cuisine with pianist Brigham Hall and vocal-ist Mary Beth Broussard. Hall, Fasullo said, "he's the key to all of it. I've been with him longer than anybody. We don't even communicate when we play because he knows exactly what to do." Fasullo also performs at many wedding receptions, a natural setting for his style of music.
"A lot of weddings are going back to traditional big band music," he said. "In May we have a wedding reception every week-end and on one Saturday we have two receptions." A self-taught singer, Fasullo learned his trade by studying the approxi-mately 1,400 recordings he has by Sinatra, Vic Damone, Al Martino and others.
"Sinatra's my all-time favorite. My second favorite's probably Bobby Darin. I've been compared to him, and I like a lot of the arrangements that he used. A lot of times there could be a song like 'Just In Time' that several of those guys recorded, but the one that I like the most is Bobby Darin's version."
Fasullo is going to Los Angeles soon for a visit during which he'll sing at a jazz club in Hollywood. Though it's just an infor-mal opportunity -- a favor from a friend of his California-residing aunt -- who knows who may be listening? This could be the start of something big. Meanwhile, Fasullo has no interest in singing anything but the great American songbook.
"I don't perform rock or pop. I don't feel that."

Quick, Cancel the DJ, Get Ned Instead Story by Melinda Walsh • Photography by Brian Baiamonte
Just because you sing at weddings doesn’t mean you’re a Wedding Singer.
Ned Fasullo is NOT a wedding singer. In fact, if you were to run into him on a weekday, you‟d think he worked for a technology-consulting firm. But, if you ask him what he does on weekends, he‟ll tell you. He sings at weddings.
Ned is the handsome crooner for the Fabulous Big Band Orchestra and the Fabulous Lit-tle Big Band; bands that are known for their multi-piece swing/jazz/big band sound and authentic musical scoring. Both are bands that play…..at weddings. But he is NOT a wed-ding singer, as he is quick to clarify.
“That‟s the worst thing you could call anyone that does what we do,” Ned explains, with the attitude of someone who has good-humoredly explained this many times before. Many brides are looking for what is essentially a live DJ, wanting play-lists that vary throughout the night from 50 Cent, to the Village People, to suit the wide age range of people attend-ing their wedding. Ned understands that his band is there to provide consistent back-ground music, but doesn‟t seek to be an emcee for the reception or to be all things to all people.
“People in the jazz genre are not wedding bands, we‟re professional entertainment.” The Fabulous Big Band is composed of professional musicians who show up in tuxes and a polished repertoire from Sinatra to Bobby Darin to Dean Martin. “We don‟t play a Sinatra set and then bust out with some Snoop Dogg,” he says with a laugh.
This singular approach to branding has paid off for Ned and Big Band Entertainment, a booking agency he formed to handle the demands for their style of performance. What sets a BBE band apart from many other big bands is that Ned and three other fellow musicians have amassed one of the top sheet music collections in the world. They get their sheet music, or „charts‟ as they‟re known in the music world, from “guys who listen to old recordings of big band performances and tran-scribe the parts for each instrument so that when you hear our stuff it sounds like the old recordings.” Big Band Entertain-ment sells these charts to musicians all over the world.
Ned and BBE bands have played every venue in the area not for just weddings, but for public entertainment as well, includ-ing well-known Baton Rouge music venue Phil Brady‟s. Ned regularly gets requests from around the country for bands like theirs and his business has branched out to include bookings for other musicians nationwide. His fiancé‟ Kelly Creighton handles the business end of the band for him and the other musicians.
“I can accomplish more now with Kelly booking gigs for us.” Ned is quick to give her credit. Kelly was responsible for hook-ing Ned up with the Nelson Riddle orchestra when they toured the Southeastern United States. Ned was hired to be the singer for the “Salute to Sinatra” for their 2003 tour. “The funny part is, Kelly‟s not even a fan of our music. She‟s more into Gwen Stefani.” But they are hiring their own band for their wedding this month. So will Ned sing at his own reception?
“Yeah, I‟m going to sing a few songs here and there for family members who haven‟t heard me.” One song will be dedicated to his daughter and another to Kelly.
Remember, he‟s not a wedding singer. But this month, he‟ll be the wedding groom.

Where Angels Fear to Tread: By Susan D. Mustafa
Ned Fasullo did not grow up with musical inclinations. He listened to Frank Sinatra on the radio with his mother and four sisters, but he had no dreams to become a singer. He did take piano lessons for about four years when he was young, but quit when his teacher found out he was playing by ear because he couldn‟t read music. Ned doesn‟t even think he‟s a great singer. Singing was just one of a long list of hobbies until he decided on a whim to begin a band. And Ned has always been a man to go where angels fear to tread. In fact, he approaches everything that way.
“I just decided to do it one day. I knew I could sing a little bit and decided to give it a try,” Ned said.
Ned sent an e-mail to members of the Baton Rouge Jazz Ensemble expressing his desire to start a band. He then downloaded a bunch of Frank Sinatra songs and began learning them. He got a small group together and two weeks later played his first gig at Maggio‟s. After honing his skills at local restaurants for eight months, Ned decided it was time to form a big band.
“I regrouped and set goals,” he said. “I auditioned piano players, kept my original bass player, and went back to the Baton Rouge Jazz Ensemble for horns. I told people I had a big band before I actually had one. I started booking weddings, and it grew from there.”
More surprised than anyone at the demand for his Sinatra-like sound, Ned soon found himself opening shows for the likes of Harry Connick, Sr. and playing at bigger and bigger venues. Collecting female fans in the 60-plus demographic was also a surprise for the young man whose almost shy grin is indicative of someone unused to so much attention.
“People say I resemble a young Frank Sinatra, but I don‟t think so. And I don‟t think I sound like him. That‟s not what I‟m trying to do. This is not about people who sang songs. It‟s about great arrangers who made beautiful music,” he explained.
With standards from Tony Bennett, Sinatra, Bobby Darrin, and Sammy Davis, Jr., Ned and his 17-piece Fabulous Big Band Orchestra take their audience on a journey back to a simpler time when singers crooned their love. “There is a vacuum for this type of music,” Ned said. “There are few big bands that float around this area, but not many. I think I was in the right place at the right time.”
To date, Ned has recorded three studio CDs and two live CDs. His latest, Ned Fasullo—Live at Casino Rouge, was re-corded at a show in July in Rhythms Lounge in the casino. Featuring standards like “I Only Have Eyes For You,” “My Funny Valentine,” and “Mack the Knife,” the CD showcases the range of Ned‟s abilities.
“Working with Casino Rouge helps us so much. We‟re the missing genre that rounds out their schedule.” Ned will return to Casino Rouge to perform on December 13. This show will feature trumpet players from Catholic High‟s jazz band.
Ned is a featured vocalist with the Nelson Riddle Orchestra under the direction of Nelson‟s son, Christopher, and will begin touring with the orchestra in January. Nelson was Frank Sinatra‟s bandleader for 22 years. Also working on putting a Dean Martin type show together for Cox Cable to showcase The Fabulous Big Band Orchestra, Ned‟s “hobby” is keeping him very busy.
During the week when he‟s not at his job as a sales representative for Transformyx, Ned can be found singing on Thursday nights at Vincent‟s Italian Cuisine in the piano bar on Highland Road or at DeAngelo‟s Pizzeria on Coursey Boulevard twice each month. And his four-year-old daughter, Mary Joy, has been known to offer her rendition of “It Had to be You” on some of these occasions.
“I don‟t even use a mike at Vincent‟s. I have a big voice. Sometimes they have to tell me to keep it down,” Ned laughed.
Ned‟s CDs are available at The Compact Disc Store on Jefferson Highway or online at www.nedfasullo.com. And Ned has a special treat exclusively for City Social readers. Visit Ned‟s website and be the first to hear some of the new releases from his upcoming CD. You will also be able to access a video of Ned in North Carolina with the Nelson Riddle Orchestra.
