Callisto blends a variety of genres with a distinct jazz twist, where soulful melodies and heartfelt lyrics take center stage. Drawing inspiration from the rich traditions of 20th-century American music, Callisto was formed by six talented Central Florida musicians, united by a shared passion for music that resonates on a deep, emotional level.
Callisto features some of Central Florida’s finest musicians, including singer-songwriter and guitarist Hannah Stokes, saxophonist Jeremy Fratti, pianist Patrick Moreno, guitarist Abe Alam, bassist Marco Bojorquez, and drummer Jeremy Katalenic.
The band’s members have performed with a wide range of renowned artists, including Ira Sullivan, Kurt Elling, Pat Metheny, and Sam Rivers, and have toured with legendary groups like the Tommy Dorsey and Glenn Miller Orchestras. They’ve also been featured at top venues in the nation, such as the Blue Note, the Iridium, and Smoke Jazz Club.
With fresh arrangements of songs by artists like James Taylor, Paul Simon, Stevie Wonder, The Beatles, Antonio Carlos Jobim and the Great American Songbook, Callisto showcases their ability to create music that is both deeply personal and universally appealing.
"Callisto brought a captivating, soulful sound to their performance with Howey Music Series, leaving our audience completely enamored.
